Reactor is that part of nuclear power plant where nuclear fuel is subjected to nuclear fission and the energy released in the process is utilised to heat the coolant which may in turn generate steam or be used in a gas turbine. The main function of the reactor is to control the emission and absorption of neutrons. A nuclear reactor [...]
Reactors in a power system can be located - (i) in series with generators; (ii) in series with feeders, or (iii) in bus-bars reactors(in ring system or in tie-bar system) as explained below. 1. Generator Reactors: When the reactors are inserted between the generator and the generator bus, as shown in Fig. 16.27 (a), the reactors are known as generator [...]
