Plant Simulation

A procedure is presented for designing multivariable controllers for unidentified plant. It is assumed that the open-loop plant is stable and its response to step inputs are basically nonoscillatory. For such plant, no mathematical model is required in order to generate multivariable I, PI, or PID controllers. Method of tuning the controllers are also presented and demonstrated, first on a low order linear distillation column model, and finally on a high order, nonlinear, once-through boiler model typical of the type used in nuclear power plant simulation studies.

Engineering Psychology

We demonstrate the development, rationale, and use of a gamified microworld nuclear power plant simulation for engineering psychology research and process control applications. The Rancor microworld was developed to address specific research needs in support of ongoing U.S. nuclear control room modernization efforts. The Rancor microworld serves as a platform for inexpensive cognitive psychology research that would otherwise not be as feasible in typical complex process control research settings. The gamified nuclear power plant simulator is simple enough that untrained, novice participants can quickly learn and control the system. The Rancor microworld is currently configured to support an investigation of attention and situation awareness in nuclear process control is discussed. The Rancor framework is flexible to support rapid modification for addressing research needs related to complex process control.

Secondary Loop

Secondary loop system is an essential part in nuclear power plant (NPP). The traditional methods for the secondary loop cannot reveal the universality for the most of the NPPs. When there is the need to build another NPP secondary loop simulation program or project, the simulation model always need to modify or adapt to the new design parameters and operation parameters. In this work a fast modeling simulation platform for secondary loop in NPP is developed. In this simulation platform there is the modular, parametric simulation model in the device library and graphical human-computer interaction. There is the modeling procedure for the NPP secondary loop system simulating and modeling. In the device library there are different simulation models of secondary loop system. The secondary loop simulation model can be made up by the device simulation model with reasonable data interface. Each device simulation model could represent the practical device steady and dynamic performance with accurate calculation. The simulation results calculated in the simulation platform can represent the accuracy steady calculation and reasonable dynamic tendency of main parameters for the secondary loop system built. From the simulation platform the NPP secondary loop system simulation model can be built conveniently and fast. In the simulation platform there is the appropriate data input form and output form. The simulation platform can be used in the different purposes of simulation for NPP secondary loop as training, evaluating, operation and characteristic analysis.
