“…Since process control systems often use empirical models, i.e. FOPDT models, robustness and setpoint performance of these controllers in the presence of parameter variations and disturbances become important in operations [1,44]. The proposed VSC approach with its direct auto-tuning function can solve all these issues by providing a good setpoint response and robustness.…”

One phase overload or lightload condition is a very common condition in nuclear power turbo-generators, and magnetic field distortion and current asymmetrical degree concern the safe operation of turbo-generators. Damper and wedge windings are the special parts that distinguish the nuclear power generators from other smaller generators. Therefore, it is extremely important to investigate magnetic field distortion and stator electrical quantity. At the beginning, taking saturation and slot effects into account, the finite element model of a 1400MVA nuclear power generator is built up. And through comparison between the finite element simulation and the experimental results of no-load characteristics and short-circuit characteristics, the effectiveness of the finite element model was fully tested. Then, with or without damper and wedge windings, and leakage flux, the negative sequence equivalent circuit is employed to explain the law of magnetic field distortion under stator negative current, which is also verified by finite element simulation. Based on a novel theory proposed in this article, the law of the stator positive and negative sequence current, and the current asymmetrical degree with alteration of one-phase load under steady state are given in detail. Additionally, the finite element method is developed to test the correctness of the novel theory. The influence of damper and wedge windings, leakage flux at coil ends, and eddy current on the solid magnetic-pole of rotors on stator electrical quantity is also discussed in detail.Lv Pin (Non-member) was born in Harbin in China, on November 8, 1989.

“…For all power plants, the power supply and demand must be balanced by either generation or load [5], which means that load following ability of a SMR-based plant such as the HTR-PM is quite needed for balancing power supply and demand. Therefore, it is very necessary to realize large-scale load-following control for the MHTGRs.…”

Small modular reactors (SMRs) could be beneficial in providing electricity power safely and also be viable for specific applications such as seawater desalination and heat production. Due to its inherent safety feature, the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) has been seen as one of the best candidates in building the SMR-based nuclear power plants. Since the MHTGR dynamics has high nonlinearity and parameter uncertainty, it is necessary to develop nonlinear adaptive power-level control law which is not only beneficial to the safe, stable, efficient and autonomous operation of the MHTGR but also easy to be implemented practically. In this paper, based on the physically-based control design approach and multi-layer perception (MLP), an MLP-compensated proportional-differential (PD) power-level control is proposed for the MHTGR. It is proved theoretically that this newly-built controller can guarantee bounded closed-loop stability. Numerical simulation results not only verify the theoretical results but also illustrates the high performance of this controller in suppressing the oscillation of process variables caused by system parameter uncertainty.
