Abstract

We describe the development of a real time fuzzy controller aimed at an adequate core axial power distribution inside a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The system has been implemented in simulation using the EDF model on Matlab-Simulink on a Sun workstation. Some experiments tests at different power levels have been performed: several low levels modeling falls in the network consumption and tests modeling falls in the consumption followed by a recovery of the consumption. The results of all these experiments will be discussed.
