The control systems of nuclear power plants (NPPs) implement the controls of a nuclear
reactor and its power system, equipment, process, and parameters. The performance of the …

Natural circulating steam generators are extensively applied in pressurized water reactor
units, where the water level control is a tough challenge. During transients, the water level …

Supplier selection and evaluation is a complicated and disputed issue in supply chain
network management, by virtue of the variety of intellectual property of the suppliers, the …

The main part of nuclear powered system is the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) to
produce the steam needed for electricity or cogeneration. The NSSS mainly contains the …

Nonlinear state space modeling of a nuclear reactor has been done for the purpose of
controlling its global power in load following mode. The nonlinear state space model has …

This paper proposes artificial neural network and fuzzy system-based extreme learning
machines (ELM) for offline and online modeling of U-tube steam generators (UTSG). Water …

In this paper, a gain-scheduled equivalent-cascade internal-model-control (IMC) tuning
method for water level control system of nuclear steam generator is presented. First, a water …

The robust controller synthesis and analysis of the water level process in the U-tube system
generator (UTSG) is addressed in this paper. The parameter uncertainties of the steam …

The challenge of water level control in steam generators, particularly at low power levels,
has always been a critical aspect of nuclear power plant operation. To address this issue …

In a nuclear power system, the steam generator (SG) is the most important part of the second
loop, and accurate monitoring of the internal water level of the SG has always been a …
