[0002] Nuclear power plant generators are crucial infrastructure for national energy security, and their operational safety and economic efficiency are paramount. To ensure continuous, stable, and safe operation, they typically undergo an overhaul every 18-24 months, comprehensively inspecting and maintaining all key systems and equipment. Overhauls typically last two to three months, involve tens of thousands of specific processes, and involve thousands of personnel, making them a complex, systematic project. A well-designed and detailed overhaul plan is crucial for ensuring overhaul quality, controlling overhaul cycles, and minimizing radiation exposure.
[0003] Traditional overhaul work plan design relies primarily on the experience of on-site managers, manually developing work processes and timelines based on two-dimensional nuclear power plant design drawings and limited on-site data. This approach not only lacks realistic simulation capabilities but also struggles to fully assess multi-dimensional constraints, including time, space, environment, and personnel. This often leads to process conflicts, schedule delays, operational violations, and excessive radiation doses, adversely impacting the successful completion of overhaul work. Furthermore, existing work plan design lacks information technology, and data traceability and protection measures across the entire overhaul process are insufficient to ensure data integrity.

[0025] Example 1
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a nuclear power plant generator set overhaul rehearsal system, comprising:
[0027] The data acquisition module obtains the working status data of the nuclear power plant's on-site equipment in real time through a variety of sensors, providing real input parameters for the three-dimensional digital twin model.
[0028] The three-dimensional digital twin module uses CAD and BIM technologies to build a three-dimensional digital twin model based on the design drawings and pipeline layout of the nuclear power plant's generator units and surrounding environment.
[0029] Specifically, the steps for constructing the 3D digital twin module are as follows: 2D CAD design drawings and existing BIM model data of the nuclear power plant's generator units and surrounding environment are obtained, and the CAD drawings and BIM model data are classified and organized; a unified 3D rectangular coordinate system is established with reference to the overall layout of the nuclear power plant; 3D parametric modeling of the nuclear power plant's building structure and pipeline layout is performed in the BIM modeling software based on the existing BIM model data; 2D CAD drawings are imported into the BIM modeling software, and 3D solid modeling of each system component and equipment is performed based on the 2D CAD drawings, and the 3D solid model is integrated with the BIM model; a model checking tool is used to detect whether the integrated 3D model contains errors and the 3D model is repaired based on the detection results; non-core areas of the 3D model that are not related to simulation analysis are simplified to reduce the computational burden, while core areas related to simulation analysis are refined to improve simulation accuracy; the geometric information of the 3D model is integrated with non-geometric information such as parameter information and material properties of system components and equipment to form a 3D digital twin model; the 3D digital twin model is published to the simulation analysis platform and integrated with the artificial intelligence simulation engine module, virtual reality interaction module, and data acquisition module.
[0030] Preferably, a model checking tool is used to detect whether there are any errors in the integrated three-dimensional model, and the three-dimensional model is repaired according to the detection results, including the following steps: if a face overlap error is detected, the repair geometry function of the modeling software is run to automatically repair the overlapped surface; if a spatial position conflict is detected between the pipeline and the equipment model, the pipeline route is adjusted in the pipeline professional model to eliminate the interference; if a certain equipment model is detected to be missing an auxiliary bracket component, the bracket structure dimension data is obtained by on-site measurement, and the corresponding components are supplemented in the modeling; if a certain area model is detected to be missing a surveillance camera, and the design document has clear requirements, the modeling is supplemented according to the camera model and position; the repaired three-dimensional model is comprehensively checked using the model checking tool to ensure that there are no residual errors after the repair.
[0031] The artificial intelligence simulation engine module, based on the three-dimensional digital twin model and real-time data, integrates the physical engine and process rules to simulate the entire overhaul process, and intelligently adjusts the initial overhaul plan through machine learning algorithms.
[0032] Specifically, the AI simulation engine module operates as follows: It obtains 3D digital twin model data from the 3D digital twin module and real-time on-site equipment operating status data from the data acquisition module. Based on the acquired data, a virtual nuclear power plant environment model is constructed in the physics engine, and the on-site equipment operating status data is used as input parameters for the physical simulation. Standardized overhaul operation process rules are converted into an executable rule set and imported into the constructed virtual environment model. The physics engine drives the simulation execution and acquires the simulation data generated during the simulation in real time. It determines whether the acquired simulation data violates the constraints in the executable rule set and, if so, sends a prompt signal to the virtual reality interaction module. The operator uses the virtual reality device to interactively observe and control the violation simulation process and manually intervene to adjust the violation link to ensure that it complies with the operating standards. The values of all key indicators in the adjusted simulation process are recorded, including construction period, manpower, energy consumption, and radiation dose. The machine learning algorithm automatically identifies bottlenecks and risk points in the simulation process based on the recorded data, and adjusts the operation parameters through the optimization algorithm to generate multiple optimized alternative overhaul plans. Multiple rounds of evaluation simulation are performed on each optimized alternative plan to determine its comprehensive performance in terms of construction period, cost, and radiation dose.
[0033] Preferably, the executable rule set includes multi-dimensional constraints including operation sequence, time requirements, staffing, and environmental conditions.
[0034] The virtual reality interaction module, equipped with virtual reality equipment, enables operators to observe and interactively control the overhaul simulation process in a virtual environment.
[0035] Specifically, when a simulation violates a constraint in the executable rule set, the AI simulation engine module sends a violation alert signal to the VR interaction module. This signal is displayed as a red warning sign on the VR headset's display interface, accompanied by an audio prompt. Based on the violation alert signal, the VR interaction module locates the offending link through one or a combination of the following technical means: responding to the operator's voice commands to automatically switch the perspective of the VR scene so that the violation area is centered in the field of view; detecting the operator's gestures, such as pressing buttons on the VR controller or making specific gestures, to control the virtual scene's perspective switching and zoom ratio changes until the offending link is clearly visible. Using virtual reality three-dimensional visualization technology, operators can observe the detailed information of the violation in all directions, including but not limited to the three-dimensional spatial coordinate location of the violation, the time of the violation, the list of staff present at the time, the equipment number involved, etc.; the operator analyzes the specific cause of the violation in combination with the constraint requirements of the executable rule set, and proposes an adjustment plan for the cause of the violation; the operator simulates and verifies the adjustment plan in the virtual scene to check whether it violates other constraints in the operating rules; if the adjustment plan is verified, the operator confirms the execution of this adjustment in the virtual interface through voice or gesture, and the system sends the adjustment instruction to the simulation engine; the simulation engine re-executes according to the adjustment, and the operator continues to observe. If new violations are found, the above steps are repeated until there are no violations in the entire process; the virtual reality system automatically records every adjustment decision and observation result of the operator, and feeds this data back to the simulation engine module.
[0036] Preferably, the adjustment plan proposed for the cause of the violation includes but is not limited to the following: if it is detected that the operation time has exceeded the specified critical time node, the cause is analyzed in combination with the time constraint requirements. If the analysis finds that the actual start time is delayed due to the delay in the preparatory operation link, the personnel and materials for the next process are deployed in advance. Once the current operation is completed, the next operation is seamlessly connected to catch up with the progress; if it is found that there are missing on-site personnel during the equipment relocation and placement operation, the personnel deployment requirements are analyzed. If the analysis finds that the actual operating personnel are insufficient and violates the staffing standards of the corresponding types of work, the required crane operators and protective personnel are deployed from other areas, and the personnel already on site carry out preparatory operations without radiation risks, and then formally execute the operation after the personnel are replenished; during the chemical pollution reduction operation, if it is detected that the ventilation system of the operation area is not operating normally, the cause is analyzed in combination with the environmental constraint requirements. If the analysis finds that the ventilation parameters of the operation site do not meet the standards and there is a safety hazard of chemical leakage, the operation is immediately suspended, the ventilation system fault is first checked, and monitoring posts are added to the vacant area upwind. The operation is resumed when the conditions are met.
[0037] The artificial intelligence decision-making module uses deep learning technology to comprehensively evaluate and compare the performance of each optimized overhaul plan in multiple dimensions, including construction period, cost, and radiation dose, and provides the best decision-making recommendations.
[0038] Specifically, multiple optimized alternative overhaul plans are obtained from the artificial intelligence simulation engine module, including simulation performance data of multiple dimensions; the historical overhaul plan data are randomly divided into two parts, training set and test set, according to the preset ratio; the multi-dimensional data in the training set and the test set are standardized, and the data of different dimensions are converted into the same numerical range; based on deep learning technology, a multi-input and multi-output decision evaluation model is constructed, with the input being the performance data of each alternative plan in different dimensions, and the output being the comprehensive score of each plan; the decision evaluation model is trained by the back propagation algorithm using the data in the training set, so that it learns the influence weight of data of different dimensions on the final decision; the training set is trained on the test set. A good decision evaluation model is evaluated, and its generalization ability on unseen data is analyzed based on the evaluation indicators; if the test effect is not ideal, the decision evaluation model is optimized by adjusting the network structure, optimizing hyperparameters, and increasing training data; the multi-dimensional data of each optimized alternative plan is input into the trained decision evaluation model, and the model outputs a comprehensive score for each plan; all alternative plans are sorted according to the comprehensive score output by the model, and one or more with the highest score (if there are multiple plans with similar scores) are selected as the optimal overhaul plan given by the artificial intelligence decision module; after the output of the optimal plan is actually executed, its actual performance is recorded and compared with the model prediction, and this part of the new data is added to the historical data set.
[0039] It should be noted that a deep neural network model consisting of multiple fully connected layers is used. The number of nodes in the input layer is equal to the number of dimensions considered. The hidden layer is appropriately designed according to the amount of data and model complexity. The output layer gives a score between 0 and 1 for each node.
[0040] The blockchain security module uses blockchain technology to ensure data traceability and tamper-proofing throughout the entire overhaul process, and automatically monitors work compliance through smart contracts.
[0041] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a method for rehearsing the overhaul of a nuclear power plant generator set, including using a three-dimensional digital twin module to construct a three-dimensional digital twin model based on the design drawings and pipeline layout of the nuclear power plant generator set and the surrounding environment using CAD and BIM technology; through the data acquisition module, various sensors are used to obtain the working status data of the nuclear power plant equipment in real time, providing real input parameters for the three-dimensional digital twin model; in the artificial intelligence simulation engine module, the physical engine and process rules are integrated to perform a virtual simulation of the entire overhaul process based on the three-dimensional digital twin model and real-time data; the simulation results are analyzed using a machine learning algorithm, and the initial overhaul plan is intelligently adjusted and optimized; through the virtual reality interaction module, the operator observes and interactively controls the overhaul simulation process in a virtual environment; the artificial intelligence decision-making module uses deep learning technology to comprehensively evaluate and compare the performance of each optimized overhaul plan from multiple dimensions, and give the best decision recommendation; the blockchain security module uses blockchain technology to ensure the traceability and tamper-proofness of data throughout the overhaul process, and automatically supervises work compliance through smart contracts.

[0046] Example 2
[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides a nuclear power plant generator set overhaul rehearsal system. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.
[0048] First, the system collected input data, including 5,628 CAD design drawings covering the nuclear power plant's 2,500 square kilometers, as well as existing BIM model data for buildings and pipelines, totaling 17,326 model instances. A unified 3D rectangular coordinate system was then established within the BIM software to model 27 major structures, including the reactor building and turbine house. Parametric technology was used to create a 3D model of the 230-kilometer main circulation pipeline, encompassing 34,427 pipeline nodes. Next, the system imported the CAD drawings and created 3D solid models for 27,500 pieces of equipment, such as the reactor pressure vessel and steam generator.
[0049] After the model was built, it was inspected and repaired. The system detected 105 surface overlap errors, which were corrected using the automatic repair function. The inspection also found 63 spatial conflicts between pipelines and equipment, requiring manual adjustment of pipeline routes to eliminate interference. To balance computing performance and accuracy, the system refined the mesh in the reactor core area and simplified non-core auxiliary buildings. Finally, non-geometric data such as equipment parameters and material information were integrated into the model, and a complete three-dimensional digital twin model was released, with a model volume of 23.7GB.
[0050] At a real nuclear power plant site, a large number of monitoring devices are deployed to collect real-time data. 1,200 high-precision temperature sensors are installed in the reactor core area, 1,840 pressure transmitters are placed along the main pipelines, and 960 radiation dose monitors are deployed in critical areas. The real-time data collected by these sensors is fed into the 3D model at a throughput of up to 200MB / second, serving as the real-world parameters for the physics simulation. The physics engine creates 22 million computational meshes and imports 375 executable rules, which serve as the foundation for a preliminary simulation of the entire overhaul process.
[0051] During the initial simulation, 83 violations were detected. Operators used virtual reality equipment to observe the locations of the violations, analyze the causes, and propose adjustments. After verification in the virtual environment, the adjustments were confirmed and implemented. The simulation engine then re-executed the simulation based on the adjustments until no violations occurred. Based on the simulated data, a machine learning algorithm conducted analysis and optimization, ultimately generating eight alternative overhaul plans. The deep learning decision evaluation model was then trained on 120,000 historical data points, achieving a generalization MSE loss of 0.037 on a test set of 30,000 items.
[0052] Furthermore, multi-dimensional performance data from the eight alternatives was fed into a decision-making evaluation model, which performed a comprehensive evaluation and ultimately output the two optimal options with the shortest renovation period and lowest total cost. Furthermore, the blockchain security module automatically generates new blocks every five seconds, ensuring that all data throughout the entire process is untraceable and tamper-proof. The smart contract-based monitoring system detected 12 constraint violations, issued an alarm, and forced the suspension of the offending simulation to prevent the incorrect approval of the work plan.
