Abstract:The solution to a Markov chain modeling electric power supply to critical equipment in a typical 4-loop pressurized water reactor following a Loss of offsite power event is compared with a convolution method. The standard “convolution integral” approach is described, and an alternative methodology based on a Markov model is illustrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
