INTRODUCTION
Utilization of nuclear energy that is constantly developed for the prosperity of humankind in the
field of energy is the Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear Power Plant is a power plant that utilizes
thermal energy. Heat (thermal) at Nuclear Power Plants is produced through the process of
fission reactions in nuclear reactors used to generate steam. The steam is used to drive a Fig 1) Flowchart for designing N.P.P. type P.W.R.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
This Research is a design research that produced products in the form of S.C.A.D.A system
Wonderware Intouch is a SCADA software created by the company's non-vendor Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC), making it more flexible to be associated with PLC different brands.
Another consideration is Wonderware Intouch has many features and is already widely used in
several industries, such as oil and gas, automotive, chemical, etc.Graphic User Interface (GUI)
Wonderware Intouch more user friendly.
At the Right Center, there are couple of main buttons that are used for various commands on the
system. Real-time and historical trends are shown on the box on the right. The bottom of the
interface shows a real-time alarm that informs if the system is not in accordance with the set
point. A Pressurized Water Reactors plant has two circuits for heat transfer, primary and
secondary. Primary coolant temperature and pressure are kept constant by the pressurizer. The
primary coolant leaving the reactor pressure vessel at a temperature of 328°C goes through the
main coolant line hot legs to the steam generators, where heat is transferred to the secondary
circuit. The coolant, its temperature now approximately 296°C, is returned by the reactor coolant
pump to the reactor through the inlet nozzles. The pressure in the secondary circuit is much
lower than the pressure in the primary circuit, this causes the water in the steam generator to boil.
The main steam generated in the steam generators belonging to the primary circuit is fed to the
turbine plant through the four main steam lines. The main steam is fed to the high-pressure (HP)
turbine through the high pressure turbine stop and control valves located in each main steam line.
The exhaust steam from the HP turbine is dried and reheated in the moisture separator reheaters
(MSR). From the MSRs, the reheater steam goes through the LP turbine stop and control valves
to the three LP turbines. The rotating turbine is mounted coaxially with the generator generating
electrical energy. The high 1,600 MWe power output of P.W.R. is partly due to the high
efficiency of the turbine-generator set. The exhaust steam from the LP turbines is condensed into
water in the condenser. Condensate water is fed back to the steam generator with feedwater
pumps, and the warm sea water is pumped back into the sea. The components of Pressurized
Water Reactors controlled consisted of tag names. Animation links used consisting of user
inputs, line color, fill color, percent fill, touch pushbuttons, miscellaneous, and value display. The
system is equipped with several features, real-time trends of parameters, historical trends of the
parameters, alarm system, security system, and manual book each component. When the system
is runtimed, the first step is entering the correct username and password through the “LOG IN”
button so that the “START” button can be given input. If input entered is not correct, the
“START” button will be disabled. This is a security system so that the system is protected and
cannot be run by those who do not have the access right to the system. The components that are
working are marked by colored indicator lights. The parameters of the components will appear
when the energy flow runs through the components. Manual book of each component can be
viewed by pressing the components. A popup window displaying the manual book will appear to
give information of the component that is pressed.
Real-time and Historical Trending
Real-time trend will be displayed on the left side of HMI. If one wants to view the graph clearly,
they could press “RT” button, which will show a popup window that displays the real-time
trend,. Real-time trend is a graph of component parameters in real-time in accordance with the
time interval that is determined. The maximum time range that can be displayed in a trend is 60
seconds and the update rate is every one second.
Historical trend is a graph showing past events (history) that occurred at a specific time. To
display the historical trend, one can press HT, which will display historical trend popup window.
Real-time Alarm
To be able to simulate a real-time alarm, one must first change the parameters through the
“INPUT” button. If the parameter inputted is not in accordance with a predetermined set point,
then a real-time alarm box will inform you that the part is not in accordance with the set point.
CONCLUSIONS
Human Machine Interface (HMI) for Pressurized Water Reactors Nuclear Power Plants can be
designed using the symbol factory on Wonderware Intouch software. After being simulated,
generally the system can visualize energy flow and can display energy conversion in PWR
Nuclear Power Plant. This interface is also equipped with manual book for each component,
real-time and historical trends, real-time alarm and security system. Therefore, the Virtual
SCADA system that has been designed can be used as instructional media for introducing
SCADA system and Pressurized Water Reactors Nuclear Power Plant.
