Application of PSO in the Optimization of Nuclear Power Unit’s Heat Regenerative System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on theoretical deduction, according to the characteristics of nuclear power unit, a universal heat economic framework for PWR nuclear power plant heat regenerative system was established. And on this basis, the cycle thermal efficiency was chosen as the optimization goal, the extraction steam pressures were chosen as optimization variables, a universal nuclear power unit regenerative system optimization model was established. A 900 MW nuclear power unit was taken for example, it’s the first time that AWPSO was applied to optimize the regenerative heat system of nuclear power unit. The result shows that the convergence ability and search performance of PSO are superior to other methods and the original design scheme. A new and convenient design is provided for PWR nuclear power plant heat regenerative system in this paper.
