Book excerpt: This book examines the different spatial control techniques for regulation of spatial power distribution in advanced heavy water reactors (AHWR). It begins with a review of the literature pertinent to the modeling and control of large reactors. It also offers a nodal-core model based on finite difference approximation since the AHWR core is considered to be divided into 17 relatively large nodes. Further, it introduces a nonlinear model characterizing important thermal hydraulics parameters of AHWR and integrates it into the neutronics model to obtain a coupled neutronics-thermal hydraulics model of AHWR. The book also presents a vectorized nonlinear model of AHWR and implements it in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The model of the reactor is then linearized at the rated power and put into standard state variable form. It is characterized by 90 states, 5 inputs and 18 outputs. Lastly, it discusses control techniques for a nonlinear model of AHWR. This book will prove to be a valuable resource for professional engineers and implementation specialists, researchers and students.

Book excerpt: India's three-stage nuclear power programme involves self sustaining Thorium closed fuel cycle based reactors. It has initiated design and development of the Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR). AHWR is a 920 MW (thermal) capac- ity, heavy water moderated, boiling light water cooled in natural circulation, vertical pressure tube type nuclear reactor. It is fueled by (Th-233U)O2 pins and (Th-Pu)O2 pins and the reactivity is mainly controlled by neutron absorber rods. Some advantages of Thorium-based fuel cycle are abundance of Thorium in In- dia, closed fuel cycle, reduction of radio toxicity of waste to a lower extent, proliferation resistance (prevent or discourage the production of weapon grade material). AHWR offers clean, sustainable nuclear energy, and is one of the flagship technologies of India's nuclear programme. The physical dimensions of AHWR are very large in comparison to neutron migration length, making it susceptible to Xenon induced oscillations and flux- tilting. These undesirable oscillations are common with large nuclear reactors which, if not controlled, can pose unequal spatial distribution of power and increase the chances of fuel failure. Thus it is necessary to devise a control strategy to regulate these spatial oscillations.

Book excerpt: This book, published in two volumes, embodies the proceedings of the 15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis (ACD 2019) held in Bologna, Italy, in November 2019. It features contributed and invited papers from academics and professionals specializing in an important aspect of control and automation. The book discusses current theoretical research developments and open problems and illustrates practical applications and industrial priorities. With a focus on both theory and applications, it spans a wide variety of up-to-date topics in the field of systems and control, including robust control, adaptive control, fault-tolerant control, control reconfiguration, and model-based diagnosis of linear, nonlinear and hybrid systems. As the subject coverage has expanded to include cyber-physical production systems, industrial internet of things and sustainability issues, some contributions are of an interdisciplinary nature, involving ICT disciplines and environmental sciences. This book is a valuable reference for both academics and professionals in the area of systems and control, with a focus on advanced control, automation, fault diagnosis and condition monitoring.
