Steam Generator Water Level Control: a Hybrid System Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Mixed Logical Dynamical (MLD) formalism is an efficient modeling framework for hybrid systems which allows formulating and solving problems such as moving horizon predictive control and state estimation. This paper presents the application of the combined strategies – state estimation for fault detection and predictive control for water level control – to a steam generator benchmark modeled under a unique MLD form. Indeed, the steam generator is a time varying system for which the sensor failure problem has to be solved. The simulation results show that this unified theoretical scheme allows efficient detection of failures while maintaining the water level within specified limits. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

Improvement of Water level controller for Nuclear Steam Generator at Low Power Operation
Poor control of the nuclear steam generator (SG) water level of pressurized Water Reactor can lead to frequent reactor shutdowns. In addition, the steam generator is a highly complex, nonlinear and time-varying system and its parameters vary with operating conditions. The dynamics of a nuclear steam generator is very different according to the power levels and changes as time goes on. Therefore...
متن کاملEvolved Fuzzy Control System for a Steam Generator
Poor control of steam generator water level is the main cause of unexpected shutdowns in nuclear power plants. Such shutdowns are caused by violation of safety limits on the water level and are common at low operating power where the plant exhibits strong nonminimum phase characteristics. In addition, the steam generator is a highly complex, nonlinear and time-varying system and its parameters ...
