Apros® Case
Apros was the key enabler for calculation of deterministic safety analysis to license new fuel for Loviisa
Process Simulation and Safety Analysis
Our key product for process simulation and safety analysis is Apros® - Advanced Process Simulation Software. Apros® enables the modelling and simulation of complex NPP configurations, from solving engineering issues to the dynamic testing of digital instrumentation and control systems. In a single software tool we successfully combine high accuracy with high simulation speed making APROS® an excellent choice for a variety of use cases from safety analysis to full-scope training simulators.
Fortum has used Apros in several engineering projects to our own power plants to find out technical specification for new equipment, verify and test the new I&C design in modernization projects and to speed upcommissioning phase of our plants.
- analyze the effect of the subsystem level changes on the plant level processes
- specifications for new equipment and design verification
- modelling and validation of I&C basic design including human machine interface (HMI)
- virtual commissioning including closed loop I&C testing and commissioning support
Process Simulation and Safety Analysis expertise
Deterministic Safety Analysis
Fortum has a long history of using Apros in the field of safety analysis. We use Apros to calculate all the deterministic safety analyses for Loviisa nuclear power plant. The Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority has accepted deterministic safety analyses carried out with Apros by Fortum since 1990s. Apros is continuously developed and extensively validated for safety analysis use.
