UNE-EN IEC 63046:2021

This document:

" provides requirements and recommendations for the overall Electrical Power System. In

particular, it covers interruptible and uninterruptible Electrical Power Systems including

the systems supplying the I&C systems;

" is consistent and coherent with IEC 61513. Like IEC 61513, this document also highlights

the need for complete and precise requirements, derived from the plant safety goals.

Those requirements are prerequisites for generating the comprehensive requirements for

the overall Electrical Power System architecture, and for the electrical power supply subsystems;

" has to be considered in conjunction with and at the same level as IEC 61513. These two

standards provide a complete framework establishing general requirements for

instrumentation, control, and Electrical Power System for Nuclear Power Plants.

This document establishes:

" the high level specification and requirement to implement a suitable Electrical Power

System in a NPP that supports reactor systems important to safety. It also enables

electrical energy production providing the transmission grid with active and reactive power

and electro-mechanical inertia;

" the relationships between:

the plant safety requirements and the architecture of the overall Electrical Power System and its sub-systems (see Figure 1) including:

a) the contribution to the plant Defence in Depth;

b) the independency and redundancy provisions;

the electrical requirements and the architecture of the Electrical Power System and its sub-systems;

the functional requirements and the architecture of the Electrical Power System and its sub-systems;

the requirements associated with the maintenance strategy and the architecture of the Electrical Power System and its sub-systems;

" the design of Electrical power sub-systems (e.g. interruptible and uninterruptible);

" the requirements for supporting systems of Electrical Power System (HVAC, I&C, etc.);

" the Electrical Power System life-cycle framework.

This document does not cover the specification of:

" I&C systems;

" the transmission lines connecting to substations outside the NPP;

" electrical equipment requirements already defined in the industrial IEC standards;

" electrical power for security systems (e.g., fences, surveillance systems, entrance control);

" lighting and socket facility.

This document does not consider power production requirements.
