Dynamic Empirical Modelling Techniques for Equipment and Process Diagnostics in Nuclear Power Plants
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents techniques derived from empirical modelling methods and especially designed to tackle the recognition of dynamic transients with the aim of detecting and diagnosing faults and anomalies in equipment and processes. Applications and results are also presented, covering BWR and PWR plants and spanning from component level diagnostic applications to sub-system and plant level diagnostic applications.

Daily Pan Evaporation Modelling With ANFIS and NNARX
Evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. Although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. This paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...
متن کاملLarge-scale signal reconstruction for sensor monitoring and diagnostics in nuclear power plants
On-line sensor monitoring and diagnostics systems aim at detecting anomalies in sensors and reconstructing their correct signals during operation. Since 1994, research at the OECD Halden Reactor Project has focused on the problem of sensor monitoring and diagnostics, eventually leading to the development of the PEANO system for signal validation and reconstruction. PEANO combines empirical tech...
