Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lead-bismuth cooled reactor control system design technology, and relates to an interactive multi-model weighted fusion method for core power control. Background Technology
[0002] The density of lead-bismuth coolant can vary by up to 20% within the temperature range of 300℃-800℃. This leads to severe temperature feedback nonlinearity in lead-bismuth reactors during operation, resulting in linearization model errors exceeding 30% when switching between power steps of 100%FP / 75%FP / 50%FP / 25%FP (%FP: rated power percentage, abbreviated as %). The strong nonlinearity and multi-condition switching challenges posed by this process pose significant challenges to the control of lead-bismuth reactors. A multi-model approach, using weighted fusion of measured data, can be employed to achieve optimal model matching.

[0004] Reference [1] "An Advanced Control System and Design Method for a Lead-Bismuth Stack" (Invention Patent, Wei Xinyu, Zhang Ru, et al., Application Date: 2024-12-10). This reference mainly relates to an advanced control system and design method for a lead-bismuth stack. The method includes building a lead-bismuth stack model, which includes two controlled object models: the stack core and the steam generator. Based on the built lead-bismuth stack model, the characteristics of the controller output anti-disturbance and anti-noise capability are analyzed for various advanced control algorithms, and the characteristic analysis results corresponding to each advanced control algorithm are obtained. Based on the characteristic analysis results, the superior advanced control algorithm is selected. Based on the superior advanced control algorithm, the stack core power self-disturbance controller, the steam pressure internal model controller and the main steam flow internal model controller are designed, thereby designing the advanced control system for the lead-bismuth stack. The advanced control system designed by this method not only has good response speed and stability, but also ensures that the lead-bismuth stack can meet the application requirements of complex operating environment and changing working conditions.
[0005] Reference [2] "Research on Simulation Model of Small Integrated Lead-Bismuth Cooled Reactor" (Academic Paper, Sun Yuanli, Song Zhihao and Lü Xiangbo et al., Received: 2022-12-09). This paper takes the integrated small lead-bismuth cooled reactor as the research object, establishes a steam generator secondary side model, a primary loop main cooling system model, a constitutive model and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control model based on the four-equation drift flow model, and conducts research on the operation control characteristics of the lead-bismuth cooled reactor. The results show that the steady-state calculation results are in good agreement with the design values, and the model can accurately simulate the operation characteristics of the lead-bismuth cooled reactor; the system parameter overshoot is small under rapid load change operation conditions, and the reactor power can follow the rapid change of steam flow; the blockage of heat transfer tubes has a significant impact on reactor operation, and the steam flow rate decreases by about 6.7% for each blocked heat transfer tube.
[0006] 2. Limitations of the aforementioned background technology
[0007] References [1][2] both involve the construction of lead-bismuth cooled reactor models. The control object models involve the reactor core and steam generator. They do not address the control issues such as strong nonlinearity and multi-condition switching of reactor core power during multi-power step switching. They all use a set of system parameters to simulate and characterize the reactor core. However, the system parameters differ greatly between the low-power step and the high-power step. The relevant modeling methods in the background technology have high model errors and large nonlinearity, which are not conducive to the design and simulation verification of the control system. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide an interactive multi-model weighted fusion method for core power control, which addresses the challenges of strong nonlinearity and multi-condition switching in the collaborative control of lead-bismuth reactor core power control. Based on the constructed core model, the transfer function from input to output of the system is obtained through linearization and Laplace transform. Step transfer functions are applied for four basic power levels: 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. The outputs of each model are weighted and fused by real-time measurement data through a Markov transfer mechanism, ultimately achieving real-time matching of the optimal model to support the core power control of lead-bismuth reactors.
[0009] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:
[0010] A method for controlling the core power and average coolant temperature of a lead-bismuth cooled reactor includes the following steps:
[0011] S1. Construct a core model and perform lead-bismuth heat transfer calculations;
[0012] S2. Construct transfer functions. Based on the actual operation of the lead-bismuth pile, four basic power operation steps of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% are obtained. Four power step transfer functions are constructed to characterize the lead-bismuth pile model. The transfer functions are transformed into state-space form to obtain a linearized model.
[0013] S3. Parallel operation of linearized models of lead-bismuth piles at four basic power operation stages of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% is performed. The initial states of each model are dynamically mixed using Markov transition probabilities, and the predicted values and residuals of each model are calculated independently using Kalman filtering. Subsequently, the model weights are updated in real time based on residual covariance and Bayes' theorem. Finally, the outputs of each model are weighted and fused to achieve real-time matching of the best model.
[0014] The core model includes a point reactor dynamics model, a reactive input model, and a thermodynamic dynamics model.

The specific models are as follows:

[0035] In step 2, based on the core model constructed in S1, the inputs are selected as the core inlet coolant temperature, the reactivity introduced by the control rods, and the coolant mass flow rate, and the outputs are selected as the core outlet coolant temperature and normalized power. The transfer function of the system from input to output is obtained through linearization and Laplace transform, and the linearized model of the lead-bismuth reactor at four basic power operating steps of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% is obtained.

This item is for the convenience of model correction and is set to 0 by default unless otherwise specified.
[0087] S103, Constructing a thermodynamic model
[0088] The thermodynamic model includes a thermohydraulic model and a core heat transfer model. The thermohydraulic model adopts a single-channel lumped parameter model, and the core heat transfer model adopts the Mann model.

[0093] S104, Lead-bismuth heat transfer calculation
[0094] The lead-bismuth heat exchange process is as follows: after the coolant flows out of the reactor core, it exchanges heat with the steam generator through a hot lead-bismuth pool. The cooled lead-bismuth then flows back into the reactor core through a cold lead-bismuth pool to complete the cycle. To simplify the simulation, the following assumptions are made:
[0095] (1) The coolant is fully mixed in the hot and cold lead-bismuth pools, that is, the outlet temperature is equal to the average temperature of the hot and cold pools;
[0096] (2) The cold and hot lead-bismuth pools are insulated.
[0097] Based on the law of conservation of energy, the energy equation for hot and cold lead-bismuth pools can be obtained as follows:
[0098]
[0099] In the formula: T hot (t), T cold (t) - Outlet temperature of hot and cold lead-bismuth baths / °C; T hot,in (t), T cold,in (t) - Inlet temperature of hot and cold lead-bismuth baths / °C; F hot F cold - Volumetric flow rate of hot and cold lead-bismuth baths / m³ 3 ·s -1 V hotV cold -Effective capacity of hot and cold lead-bismuth pools / m 3 .
[0100] S2. Constructing transfer functions: Based on the actual operation of the lead-bismuth pile, four basic power operation steps (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%) are obtained. Transfer functions for these four power steps are constructed to characterize the lead-bismuth pile model. The transfer functions are then transformed into a state-space form to obtain a linearized model.
[0101] Based on the core model constructed in S1, the inputs are selected as the core inlet coolant temperature, the reactivity introduced by the control rods, and the coolant mass flow rate. The outputs are selected as the core outlet coolant temperature and the normalized power. The transfer function of the system from input to output can be obtained through linearization and Laplace transform.
[0102] Three-input two-output means there are 6 transfer functions at each power level, where T is the transfer function. in The value represents the core coolant inlet temperature, rod represents the reactivity introduced by the control rods, W represents the coolant mass flow rate, and T represents the temperature at the reactor core inlet. out Here, P represents the core outlet coolant temperature, and P represents the normalized power. The system transfer function at 100% power level is as follows:
[0103]
[0104]
[0105] S3, Interactive Multi-Model Weighted Fusion
[0106] Linearized models of a lead-bismuth pile operating at four basic power levels (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%) are run in parallel. The initial states of each model are dynamically mixed using Markov transition probabilities, and the predicted values and residuals of each model are independently calculated using Kalman filtering. Subsequently, the model weights are updated in real-time based on residual covariance and Bayes' theorem. Finally, the outputs of each model are weighted and fused to achieve real-time matching of the optimal model.
[0107] S301 Establish the transition probability matrix
[0108] Based on the operating characteristics and power conversion characteristics of lead-bismuth stacks, and considering that the high-power switching probability is higher than the low-power range, the transition probability matrix is designed as follows:
[0109]
[0110] S302 Initial Model Probability
[0111] The initial model probability refers to the initial weight or confidence level assigned to each candidate model at startup (k=0). It reflects the system's prior confidence in each model before any observation data is obtained.
[0112] Considering the initial state is more likely to be at low power:
[0113] μ0 = [0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4]
[0114] S303 calculates the matching degree (likelihood function) for each model.
[0115] Based on real-time measurement data (such as neutron flux and coolant temperature), the matching degree (likelihood function) of each model is calculated to quantify the degree of matching between the current observation data and each model.
[0116] Log-likelihood calculations are used to avoid numerical underflow.
[0117]
[0118] in:
[0119] Let y represent the measurement residual of the i-th model. k For real-time measurement data, These are the state estimation parameters;
[0120] Let H be the residual covariance matrix, H be the observation matrix, P be the prediction covariance, and R be the measurement noise covariance.
[0121] S304 Model Probability Update
[0122] The aforementioned method utilizes the Markov transition mechanism to achieve smooth switching between models and updates model probabilities through probability transition matrices and dynamic weight updates. Markov transition mechanism:
[0123]
[0124] A probability correction mechanism was developed based on the actual operation of the lead-bismuth pile.
[0125] Power change rate constraint: When dP / dt > 5% / min | dP / dt | > 5% / min, the freeze probability is updated;
[0126] Minimum probability threshold: u i When the value is less than 0.05, it is forcibly set to zero to avoid numerical instability;
[0127] Furthermore, a coolant density gradient correction factor is introduced:
[0128] π ij ←π ij ×exp(-|Δρ / ρ0|)
[0129] (Δρ is the rate of change of density)
[0130] S305 weighted fusion of the outputs of each model
[0131] Mixed state estimation:
[0132]
[0133] Covariance fusion:
[0134]
[0135] Smooth switching between models is achieved through a probability transition matrix and dynamic weight updates, updating the model probabilities. A probability correction mechanism is formulated based on the actual operation of the lead-bismuth reactor, introducing power variation constraints and coolant density gradient correction factors. Finally, the outputs of each model are weighted and fused to achieve real-time matching of the optimal model, supporting the core power control of the lead-bismuth reactor.
[0136] Twenty-four transfer functions for four power steps (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%) are generated through linearization and Laplace transform. Markov transition probability matrices are then designed (e.g., a probability of 0.5 for 100% → 75%). Model weights are updated in real-time using Kalman filter residual covariance and Bayes' theorem, and probabilistic corrections are made using coolant density gradient correction factors and power change rate constraints. Finally, the optimal control quantity is output through the fusion of mixed state estimation and covariance, achieving adaptive switching across multiple operating conditions and significantly reducing model errors.
