Dynamic Model Construction And Control System Design For Canadian Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactors, Peiwei Sun

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The dynamic characteristics of Canadian Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) are significantly different from those of CANDU reactors due to the supercritical water coolant and the once-through direct cycle coolant system. Therefore, it is necessary to study its dynamic behaviour and further design adequate control system.

An accurate dynamic model is needed to describe the dynamic behaviour. Moving boundary method is applied to improve numerical accuracy and stability. In the model construction process, three regions have been considered depending on bulk and wall temperature being higher or lower than the pseudo-critical temperature. Benefits of adopting moving boundary method are illustrated in …
