Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear power engineering technology and relates to a method and system for predicting and controlling the helium flow rate in the primary loop of a gas-cooled reactor. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-cooled reactors use helium as the coolant and graphite as the moderator in the primary loop. They offer advantages such as high thermal efficiency, high burnup, and high conversion ratio, making them one of the most promising advanced reactors. In gas-cooled reactors, helium circulates in the primary loop as the coolant, and its flow control is crucial for the safe and stable operation of the reactor. Specifically, the functions of helium flow control include: 1) Maintaining stable reactor power: By adjusting the helium flow rate, the reactor's power output can be controlled. When increased power is needed, the helium flow rate is increased; conversely, the flow rate is decreased to reduce power. This ensures stable operation of the reactor under various operating conditions; 2) Ensuring safety: Helium flow control helps prevent overheating or overcooling of the reactor. Appropriate flow rate ensures that the core temperature remains within a safe range, avoiding safety accidents caused by excessively high or low temperatures; 3) Optimizing performance: Precise control of the helium flow rate can improve the reactor's thermal efficiency and economic efficiency. Reasonable flow regulation can reduce energy loss and improve the overall system efficiency; 4) Equipment protection: In high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, helium not only serves as a coolant but also protects the core material. Appropriate flow control can extend the service life of equipment and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0003] Existing helium flow prediction and control technologies for gas-cooled reactors suffer from poor prediction accuracy, failing to meet the future requirements for gas-cooled reactors to participate in power grid peak shaving and frequency regulation. Firstly, in signal processing, existing NLM (Non-Local Mean Filtering) and EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) methods still have limitations when processing complex coupled flow signals. For example, NLM is sensitive to noise, and EMD may exhibit unstable decomposition results when processing extremely complex or noisy signals. Secondly, in parameter prediction processing, existing PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) methods are prone to getting trapped in local optima and have fast convergence speeds leading to low convergence accuracy; WEM (Wavelet Energy Method) lacks adaptability, and wavelet transform is sensitive to noise, especially when processing complex signals, potentially resulting in edge blurring or loss; RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) is prone to gradient vanishing and gradient exploding problems, making it difficult for the model to learn long-range dependencies in the sequence. Finally, in actuator control, traditional DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) methods struggle to eliminate nonlinear errors caused by component mismatch, resulting in low conversion accuracy.

[0004] As the total installed capacity of gas-cooled reactor nuclear power units continues to increase, the demand for gas-cooled reactors to participate in peak shaving and frequency regulation in line with grid load will increase. During the operation of gas-cooled reactors, as the unit load is constantly adjusted, the primary loop helium flow needs to achieve dynamic and rapid response, which puts forward higher requirements for helium flow control. It is necessary to develop more accurate methods for predicting and controlling the primary loop helium flow, which is crucial for the safe and stable operation of gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants.

[0053] 2) The M helium flow rate IMF components (MF1, ..., IMF) M The values ​​are input into the trained STM model to obtain the predicted values ​​Y1, Y2, ..., Y of each helium flow rate IMF component. M Let the predicted values ​​be Y1, Y2, ..., Y... M The actual values ​​of the corresponding IMF components are M1, M2, ..., M M Based on the predicted and actual values ​​of the IMF components, an error evaluation index MDF is established to obtain the error coefficients ΔY1, ΔY2, ..., ΔY corresponding to each helium flow rate IMF component. M ;

[0054] 3) The error coefficients corresponding to each helium flow rate IMF component are input into the trained ResNet prediction model to obtain the optimal IMF component prediction values ​​of the helium flow rate sequence.

[0055] 4) Optimize the IMF component prediction values ​​of the helium flow rate sequence using the DEM algorithm.

[0056] The signal is converted into an electrical signal, which is used to control the drive mechanism of the main helium blower, and in turn, to control the helium flow rate in the primary loop of the gas-cooled reactor.

[0057] The process of performing NLM-EMD decomposition on the original helium flow sequence is as follows:

[0058] 11) Nonlocal means denoising (NLM);

[0059] 111) Calculate similarity weights:

[0077] Update candidate IMF components h n (t) is:

[0078] h n (t)=r n-1 (t)-m n (t)

[0079] Check h n (t) Does it satisfy the IMF condition (the difference between the number of extreme points and the number of zero crossings does not exceed 1, and the mean envelope is close to zero)? If it does, then h n (t) is the nth IMF component; otherwise, continue iterating.

[0080] Update residual signal r n (t) is:

[0081] r n (t)=r n-1 (t)-h n (t)

[0082] When the residual signal r n When (t) is a monotonic function or the number of extreme points is less than 2, the decomposition stops.

[0175] Confirmatory test

[0176] To verify the reliability of the prediction method proposed in this application, the experimental data (i.e., the original rod control sequence) were obtained from a foreign nuclear power plant participating in peak shaving. The load regulation range of this nuclear power plant was 60%–100%, and the test period was one month. Data from the first 15 days were selected, and a total of 1252 data samples at 15-minute intervals were provided to train the prediction model. After the model's self-learning function was completed, data from the following 15 days were selected to test the performance of the proposed model. Furthermore, to compare the advancement of this prediction method, traditional PSO, WEM, and LMD methods were selected for comparison with this application.

[0177] Using the error evaluation index SMAPE as the evaluation standard for each model, the experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0178] Table 1

[0179] Evaluation metrics PSO WEM RNN The model of this application MDF (%) 27.11 22.10 18.09 10.01

[0180] As shown in Table 1, this application has the smallest error coefficient when compared with all other benchmark models. Compared with the PSO model, the error coefficients of WEM, LMD and this application are all significantly reduced, proving that this application can improve the prediction accuracy better than the PSO model; at the same time, compared with the WEM and LMD models, the error coefficients of this application are smaller than the other two models, proving that the deep learning model based on the SWT-LMD mode decomposition method in this application can improve the prediction accuracy.

[0181] It should be noted that this application addresses the technical challenge of unstable and highly volatile control rod positions during peak and frequency regulation periods in nuclear power plants. This volatility often leads to irregular changes in control rod position prediction, severely impacting the safe and stable operation of the nuclear power plant. A prediction model based on the SWT-LMD modal decomposition method is established using a deep learning-based adaptive training method, effectively handling nonlinear time-series reactor rod position signals and improving the accuracy of rod position prediction.
