Diagnosis of Nuclear Power Plant Based on Probabilistic Neural Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents development of an automatic fault diagnosis system in the nuclear power plants to minimize possible nuclear disasters. Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) overcame the shortcomings of entrapment in local optimum, slow convergence rate which was in BP algorithm. PNN is fit to diagnose the fault of nuclear power plant and has auto-adaptability. The method not only makes the original neural network smaller in terms of computation and realization, but also improves diagnosis speed and accuracy of nuclear power plant.
