Abstract

Abstract : 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.
