For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only for the convenience of describing the present technical solution, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", "third", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0050] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration, not limitation, to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0051] The present invention proposes a method for searching and optimizing refueling and loading schemes suitable for a reactor core. This method uses fuel assembly parameters as input, constructs a neural network model to predict parameters such as cycle length and maximum enthalpy rise factor, and uses a genetic algorithm to automatically search for refueling schemes. This method offers at least the following advantages: 1. It saves time searching for refueling schemes and shortens refueling design time. Generally, it takes 5 minutes to calculate the maximum enthalpy rise factor and cycle length for a loading scheme. Using this method, searching for 10,000 loading schemes takes only 1.5 seconds (software implementation), and the total loading scheme search takes about 0.5 hours (parallel), while manual work generally takes more than one man-day. To find a better solution, multiple searches are usually performed in parallel.

[0052] 2. A better solution can be searched. The characteristic parameters of the core loading solution searched by this method are generally better than those searched manually, which effectively improves the safety and fuel economy of the power plant.

[0053] 3. Compared to the feasible solution, the optimized fuel replacement solution may be safer and more economical. For example, it may have a smaller power peak and a longer cycle length, which ideally could result in a fuel saving of four groups.

[0054] 4. The analysis process does not require human intervention, reducing human errors.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the material change loading scheme search optimization method of the present invention, it includes step S1: generating several commonly used new component layouts according to several historical material change schemes; and obtaining old component information in the historical material change schemes to generate an old component database.

[0056] The old component information includes old position information of each old component in its historical refueling plan and its position in the core.

[0057] Currently, the commonly used new assembly layouts in power plant refueling designs are considered different based on the number of new assemblies, their placement, and the number of gadolinium rods. To reduce the complexity of the search, local areas of the core were selected as the common new assembly layout areas based on the layout characteristics of the core fuel assemblies.

[0058] In this embodiment, the local area is selected from the 1 / 8 core area of ​​the core, such as Figure 2 As shown, the new components can be arranged in this 1 / 8 core area to secure their position. Eight 1 / 8 core areas are symmetrically arranged to form a complete core area. It is understood that the entire core area, or a 1 / 4 or other partial area, can also be used for arrangement, depending on requirements.

[0059] In the case of determining the layout, such as Figure 3Taking the new material layout shown as an example, without considering rotational symmetry, there are over 4 million possible layout options. Experience-based consolidation reduces the number of possible layout combinations. After determining the placement of the old components, to ensure better adaptability of the sample training model and to cover as many component types as possible, this example uses all available old components from units with a wide variety of component types.

[0060] S2: Based on the commonly used new component layout, select old components from the old component database and load them into the commonly used new component layout to generate K loading schemes. Then, import the approximately K randomly generated loading schemes into the core design software for calculation to obtain key parameters such as cycle length and maximum enthalpy rise factor for the corresponding loading scheme.

[0061] In order to be compatible with time and model accuracy, K1 loading schemes are selected from K loading schemes to form training samples; <K。

[0062] Furthermore, K2 loading schemes can be selected from the K loading schemes to form a test sample, where K1 + K2 = K. In one embodiment, K1 = 0.8 * K; K2 = 0.2 * K. Of course, the specific ratio can also be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0063] The loading of old components can be performed according to the position loading rules. Old components with matching old position information are selected from the old component database and randomly loaded into the commonly used new component layout to generate K loading schemes.

[0064] The position loading rules include placing the old components at the 1 / 4 position in the historical material replacement plan in the center component position or the 1 / 4 position; and placing the old components at the 1 / 8 position in the historical material replacement plan in the center component position, the 1 / 4 position, or the 1 / 8 position. Figure 4 shown.

[0065] S3: Use the training samples to generate a prediction model library that meets accuracy requirements; the prediction model library contains several key parameter prediction models. This step uses the generated training samples (0.8*K loading scenarios) to train a deep neural network. The constructed neural network key parameter prediction model is capable of evaluating the cycle lengths and maximum enthalpy rise factors of more than 10,000 loading scenarios per second.

[0066] Because the maximum enthalpy rise factor occurs at different burnup conditions at the beginning and middle of its lifecycle, its variability complicates neural network training. Using different numbers of new components as samples, it's impossible to train a suitable model using the component characteristics of the 1 / 8 core region as input. In this example, a deep neural network is trained on training samples with the same number of new components to obtain a key parameter prediction model corresponding to the same number of components.

[0067] When the component features of the 1 / 8 core area are used as input, a deep neural network (DNN) is used. Each layer of the network adopts full connection, sigmoid activation function, L2 regularization and batch normalization (BN). By adjusting the input features and hidden layer structure, the training and testing results of the model are within an acceptable range.

[0068] Deep neural network includes: input layer, network layer and output layer;

[0069] The input layer is used to input the kinf (reactivity) eigenvalue, gd (gadolinium rod number) eigenvalue, enrichment eigenvalue, and four-corner burnup eigenvalue; each layer has n input nodes.

[0070] The network structure layer includes 18 network layers, with 7*n nodes in each layer. Each layer adopts full connection, Sigmoid activation function, L2 regularization and Batch Normalization (BN).

[0071] The output layer is used to output parameter prediction values ​​to determine whether they meet the requirements. The parameter prediction values ​​include the maximum enthalpy rise factor and the cycle length.

[0072] in, n is the number of old components placed in the training sample.

[0073] S4: Based on the refueling notification information of the current unit, a key parameter prediction model corresponding to the refueling notification information is selected from the prediction model library, and combined with the fuel assembly information of the current unit, a feasible loading plan is generated.

[0074] Step S4 includes the following steps:

[0075] S4.1: According to the number of new components to be replaced in the refueling notification information, select the corresponding key parameter prediction model; and calculate based on the cycle length in the refueling notification information and the selected key parameter prediction model to select the appropriate available old components of the current unit. The specific steps for selecting available old components are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0076] S4.1.1: Obtain information on all available old components of the current unit, excluding damaged components and artificially selected center components.

[0077] S4.1.2: Select the 1 / 4 position components, 1 / 8 position components, and center components from largest to smallest component reactivity kinf, and load them into the key parameter prediction model. 1 / 4 position components are selected only from all 1 / 4 position components, and 1 / 8 position components are selected only from all 1 / 8 position components. If the center component is manually selected, it is not selected in this step; otherwise, it is selected.

[0078] S4.1.3: Calculate the cycle length of the key parameter prediction model after loading is completed; place the components with the smallest reactivity kinf at the 1 / 8 position on the periphery of the core and calculate the cycle length.

[0079] S4.1.4: Determine whether the calculated cycle length meets the material change notification requirements; if so, end the process; otherwise, reselect components with smaller reactivity kinf from the remaining components of the current unit to replace components with larger reactivity kinf from the selected components until the cycle length requirements are met and the cycle ends.

[0080] After completing the selection of old components, execute step S4.2: Based on the selected available old components, use the genetic algorithm to generate several loading schemes to be verified, and use the selected key parameter prediction model to predict the cycle length and maximum enthalpy rise factor of each loading scheme to be verified, so as to search for the loading scheme that requires all core refueling parameter calculations.

[0081] In this embodiment, the genetic search process of loading schemes is mainly operated by genetic chromosomes, including selection, crossover and mutation operations; the cycle length and maximum enthalpy rise factor of each loading scheme are predicted by neural network to calculate the fitness. Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0082] S4.2.1: Random Generation m An initial population is generated by crossing over and mutation, using a set of digitally encoded chromosomes to simulate each loading scenario. 2*m offspring.

[0083] S4.2.2: Use the trained key parameter prediction model to make predictions 2*m The maximum enthalpy rise factor and cycle length of each loading scheme are searched out, and the loading scheme with the maximum enthalpy rise factor and cycle length meeting the requirements is saved. In this embodiment, each generation only saves the optimal 0.01*m A plan.

[0084] S4.2.3: Simulate chromosome crossover and / or mutation operations to eliminate individuals with low fitness and generate new individuals with high fitness, following the natural selection principle of survival of the fittest. Fitness includes cycle length and maximum enthalpy rise factor. In this embodiment, simulated chromosome crossover and / or mutation operations are performed only on components within the same region.

[0085] S4.2.4: When the saved loading plan is greater than m or iteration k End the search after times.

[0086] S4.2.5: Select the best 0.01*m Recalculate the maximum enthalpy rise factor and cycle length for each loading scheme and select the optimal one 0.001*m All core refueling parameters are calculated for each loading scheme.

[0087] in, m is the initial population size of the loading scheme, k is the number of iterations of the genetic search. m and k are considered to be computationally expensive, and are generally set to 500 and 110, respectively. Of course, other values ​​can be selected based on actual needs.

[0088] Compared with the historical solutions, the method using the specific embodiment of the present invention is obviously better than the historical solutions.

[0089] The search results of the 5-cycle a~e schemes of units 1 and 2 of a nuclear power plant are compared with their actual historical scheme results. Figure 7 、 8 From the comparison of the results of the five cyclic search schemes, it can be seen that the characteristic parameters of the core loading scheme searched by this method are better than those searched manually.

[0090] This method was validated during actual refueling design for Unit 4 of a nuclear power plant during its 10th cycle and Unit 2 of a second nuclear power plant during its 7th cycle. In Unit 2 of the second nuclear power plant, 68 new components were planned for its 7th cycle. Using this method, 64 new component solutions were found to meet the plant's refueling notification requirements. Based on core metrics, these 64 new component solutions met all required parameters and could generate the economic benefits of nearly four new components.

[0092]

[0093] Comparison of manual search scheme and this method's search scheme for the 7th cycle of Unit 2 of a nuclear power plant

[0094]

[0095] After comparative analysis, the material replacement scheme search method adopted in this method can successfully search for a scheme that meets the requirements. The searched scheme can make full use of the old components of the previous cycle and some key characteristic parameters are better than manual search, which has great engineering application prospects.

[0096] It is understandable that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
