DVR services can be used to increase plant
generation by approximately 1.4%
COLUMBIA, Md., Sept. 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- GSE Solutions ("GSE
Systems, Inc." or "GSE") (Nasdaq: GVP), a leader in advanced
engineering and workforce solutions that supports the future of
clean-energy production and decarbonization initiatives for the
nuclear power industry, announced that it has developed key
services that support recent Topical Report, which outlines the
requirements for using Data Validation and Reconciliation (DVR) for
Measurement Uncertainty Recapture (MUR).
In July 2023, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) released the final safety evaluation
of the Topical Report submitted for applying DVR to MUR
uprates. DVR is the new elite standard for optimizing plant
performance in the nuclear power industry and can now be used to
implement uprates of up to approximately 1.4%.
"GSE has been a pioneer in successfully implementing the DVR
process both in the US and international nuclear power market and
expanding the use of DVR for increasing plant generation for
optimal utilization," said Damian
DeLongchamp, Vice President, GSE Programs & Performance.
"Our customers benefit from these advanced services that equate to
a large increase in revenue for their plants, upward of millions of
dollars, all accomplished with potentially no additional
instrumentation required."
GSE's Engineering, Programs & Performance group (formerly
True North Consulting) uses Belsim's VALI modeling software to pull
the plant data from a historian, perform the reconciliation
calculations, and output a reconciled data set representing the
process's most probable true state. Then, the GSE team uses
data analytics to monitor, troubleshoot, and make operational
improvements that increase plant output and ensure efficient and
safe operations, providing significant economic benefits to the
utility.
The cost of the DVR service is approximately $0.4-0.5 million per unit, with approximately
half the plants in the US having performed an MUR.
