Evolved Fuzzy Control System for a Steam Generator
Keywords:
evolved control, nonlinear system, fuzzy model, predictive controlAbstract
Poor control of steam generator water level is the main cause of unexpected shutdowns in nuclear power plants. Particularly at low powers, it is a difficult task due to shrink and swell phenomena and flow measurement errors. In addition, the steam generator is a highly complex, nonlinear and time-varying system and its parameters vary with operating conditions. Therefore, there is a need to systematically investigate the problem of controlling the water level in the steam generator in order to prevent such costly reactor shutdowns. The objective of this paper is to design, evaluate and implement a water level controller for steam generators based on a fuzzy model predictive control approach. An original concept of modular evolved control system, seamless and with gradual integration into the existent control system is proposed as base of implementation of the presented system.References
