Comprehensive exergetic and economic comparison of PWR and hybrid fossil fuel-PWR power plants

Energy, 2010
A typical 1000 MW Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant and two similar hybrid 1000 MW PWR plants operate with natural gas and coal fired fossil fuel superheater-economizers (Hybrid PWR-Fossil fuel plants) are compared exergetically and economically. Comparison is performed based on energetic and economic features of three systems.

Comparison of the error-integral performance indexes in a GA-tuned PID controlling system of a PWR-type nuclear reactor point-kinetics model

, 2021
The control of a nuclear power plant is important due to its nonlinear dynamics. An optimized proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is a popular tool to this end. PID is tuned by various methods, including a genetic algorithm (GA).

Finding a suitable fuel type for the disposal of the accumulated minor actinides in the spent nuclear fuel in PWR

, 2021
The objective of this work is to determine which of the main three fuel types (UO2, (Th,U)O2 and MOX fuel) can burn minor actinides (MAs) effectively and at the same time sustain the main operating parameters at an acceptable level.

A functional variable universe fuzzy PID controller for load following operation of PWR with the multiple model

, 2020
To achieve core power control of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) over full power range under arbitrary initial power conditions, a global controller under the multiple model for reactor core load following is designed. Based on the nonlinear model of PWR

A multi-level fuzzy switching control method based on fuzzy multi-model and its application for PWR core power control

, 2021
As the characteristics of complex system are usually multivariable, nonlinear, and wide operating range, it is difficult to achieve ideal control of complex nonlinear systems.

Surveillance of vibrations in PWR

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 1982
Abstract The core of a PWR — including fuel elements, internal structure, control rods and core support structure inside the pressure vessel — is subjected to forces which can cause vibrations. One sensitive method to detect and analyse such vibrations is by means of the noise from incore and excore neutron detector signals.
