Research on Pressurizer Pressure Control System of 900MW Pressurized Water Reactor Nuclear Power Plant

Abstract:

It is of vital importance for the pressurizer to maintain the pressure of primary coolant because the sharp change of coolant pressure has a direct impact on the security of reactor. The study of pressurizers pressure control method is highly important and meaningful. This paper presents the researching and designing on pressure control system of a pressurizer implemented in a nuclear power plant. Both the present situation of the nuclear power and some relevant background have been briefly introduced. Proceeding on the records of simulation, we succeed in establishing the applied modeling of pressurizer and further propose the PID control technology working as control algorithm. The best set of controller parameters are chosen through comparing the results including regulation time, overshoot suppression and stability. On the base of such control method, we attempt to add neural network control technology to achieve further improvement, which turns out available and satisfying.
