As key equipment in nuclear power plant, the reactor power control system is adopted to strictly control and regulate the reactor power of a PWR (pressurized water reactor) in a nuclear power plant. A well-optimized predictive control algorithm based on SDMC (stepped dynamic matrix controller) is developed and introduced in this paper and applied to the power regulation of a reactor power model. In addition, the test and verification of this application is conducted by two different methods and devices: the virtual verification platform and the physical DCS (digital control system). The result of the verification suggests that the application of SDMC gains a better performance in the maximum dynamic deviation, adjustment time, overshoot, and so on.

Water Reactors

Small Pressurized Water Reactors (SPWR) are different from those of the commercial large Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). There are no hot legs and cold legs between the reactor core and the steam generators like in the PWR. The coolant inventory is in a large amount. The inertia of the coolant is large and it takes a long time for the primary system to respond to disturbances. Once-through steam generator is adopted and its water inventory is small. It is very sensitive to disturbances. These unique characteristics challenge the control system design of an SPWR. Relap5 is used to model an SPWR. In the reactor power control system, both the reactor power and the coolant average temperature are regulated by the control rod reactivity. In the feedwater flow control system, the coordination between the reactor and the turbine is considered and coolant average temperature is adopted as one measurable disturbance to balance them. The coolant pressure is adjusted based on the heaters and spray in the pressurizer. The water level in the pressurizer is controlled by the charging flow. Transient simulations are carried out to evaluate the control system performance. When the reactor is perturbed, the reactor can be stabilized under the control system.

Power Control System

The power control system of a nuclear reactor is one of the key systems that concern the safe operation of the plant. Much attention is paid to the power control systems’ performance of nuclear reactor in engineering. The goal of this paper is apply balance model reductionto derive reduced order model and then design the reduced optimal controller for nuclear reactor power system.The simulation results with reduced-order model and with optimized controller show that the proposed technique is improved .
