In order to improve the control quality of the water level for steam generator, a fuzzy level controller for steam generator is designed based on the fuzzy logic principle. The fuzzy logic toolbox and Simulink module of Matlab software are used for the modeling of the water level control system of steam generator. The operating condition of reducing load is calculated. Simulation result shows that the fuzzy control has such virtues as smaller overshoot, shorter regulating time and stronger robustness than the conventional three-element PID control. Fuzzy control is especially effective for nonlinear system like steam generator with multivariable, large time lagged and strong coupling. It is a very effective control method with widely application prospect.

Steam generator (SG) water level system is a highly complex nonlinear time-varying system. It is complicated at low power levels due to shrink and swell phenomena which must be considered for plant safety and availability. To improve the transient performance of the SG level subject to power adjustments, an innovative set-point function method is put forward in this paper. The set-point functions based on the inverse-control theory and the swell and shrink effect which generate a desirable reference input to the widespread cascade Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller of the level control system respectively. The set-point function can apply appropriate control to the feed-water flow rate duly depended on the pivotal time between the power adjustment decision and the real start time of adjustment. Finally, comparative simulation is carried out under the same condition of power adjustment. The simulation results demonstrate that the water level control system added set-point functions can restrain the disturbance and improve the transient performance effectively. The method added the Inverse Control-Based Set-Point (ICSP) function can achieve better control performances than the swell-based set-point (SBSP) function.

In the process of dyeing, the temperature control of dyeing machine plays a decisive role on the stand or fall quality of fabric. The establishment of the traditional PID controller’s parameters needs a lot of test, which brings many inconvenience.Therefore, it is proposed to control dyeing machine temperature by fuzzy controller. Based on the principle of fuzzy logic control, the model of the temperature control system of dyeing machine is built. At the same time, through the fuzzy logic toolbox in matlab software, fuzzy controller of temperature is designed. Then a comparative simulation of the temperature control system of dyeing machine with matlab has been accomplished. Through the analysis of the results, it is concluded that the temperature system can achieve the higher steady precision.

Swarm Optimization

The U-tube Steam Generator (UTSG) of AP1000 Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is the crucial component transferring heat from the primary loop to the secondary loop to make steam. The UTSG of AP1000 NPP is a highly complex, nonlinear and time-varying system and its parameters vary with operating conditions. Therefore, it is difficult and challenging to well control the water level of AP1000 UTSG by tuning the PID controller parameter in a traditional way, especially when the system is undergoing a sharp transient. To achieve better control performance, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm was applied for the parameter optimization of the AP1000 UTSG feedwater control system in this study. First, the mathematical model of AP1000 UTSG was established and the objective function was developed with the system constraints considered. Second, the simulation platform was built and then the simulation was conducted in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Finally, the optimized parameters were obtained and the feedwater control system with optimized parameters was simulated against that without optimized. The simulation results demonstrate that optimized parameters of AP1000 UTSG feedwater control system can significantly improve the water level control performance with smaller overshoot and faster response. Therefore, the PSO based optimization method can be applied to optimizing AP1000 UTSG feedwater control system parameters to provide much better control capabilities.

A combined digital-analog mathematical model for the dynamic analysis of vertical U-tube natural-circulation steam generators is presented. The application of this model to the optimal design of a water-level controller for a steam generating unit is demonstrated. It is shown that a control system consisting of standard proportional and reset controls on water-level deviation from a desired set point and the difference between the steam and feedwater mass flow rates can be successfully employed for the control of water level in such a plant. The optimum values, as well as the range of the controller parameter sellings for which the steam generator exhibits a desired stable response, are determined.

Gain Scheduled

In this paper, a gain-scheduled equivalent-cascade internal-model-control (IMC) tuning method for water level control system of nuclear steam generator is presented. First, a water level control system for a steam generator is transferred into an equivalent cascade-feedforward control system. Second, analytical tuning rules for the equivalent cascade control system are derived based on the IMC-(proportional-integral-derivative) PID method, which can simultaneously tune the primary/secondary loops and avoid the re-identification step. Finally, gain scheduling is performed to eliminate the influence of process nonlinearity. The experimental results of nuclear simulation platform have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed tuning method.
