A modeling and control approach to advanced nuclear power plants with gas turbines
Özet
Advanced nuclear power plants are currently being proposed with a number of various designs. However,
there is a lack of modeling and control strategies to deal with load following operations. This research
investigates a possible modeling approach and load following control strategy for gas turbine nuclear
power plants in order to provide an assessment way to the concept designs. A load frequency control
strategy and average temperature control mechanism are studied to get load following nuclear power
plants. The suitability of the control strategies and concept designs are assessed through linear stability
analysis methods. Numerical results are presented on an advanced molten salt reactor concept as an
example nuclear power plant system to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed mod-
eling and load following control strategies.
