contents This paper examines the use of contingency analysis for a nuclear power plant to determine its potential benefits for the nuclear industry. Various N-1 contingencies were analyzed for a model of an existing nuclear plant, primarily inspecting voltage violations resulting from a failure. Remedial Actions Schemes were suggested to support the reduction of voltage violations in the event of a failure within the system. Many of the schemes presented were solved by existing redundancies and protection schemes that have been provided through the use of industry standard bounding analysis in the design process. This paper proposes the future use of real-time contingency analysis for nuclear power plants, conducted using constantly updating voltage, current, and power measurements through the system. This will provide real-time information of the system and can serve as historical data to reduce the analysis needed for pending design changes in the plant.
