Spatial oscillations in neutron flux distribution resulting from xenon reactivity feedback are a
matter of concern in large nuclear reactors. If the spatial oscillations in power distribution are …

Large nuclear reactors exhibit spatial oscillations in neutron flux distribution on account of
xenon reactivity feedback. These oscillations, if not suppressed, can pose nonuniform …

In large nuclear reactors, such as the Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR), the spatial
oscillations in the neutron flux distribution due to xenon reactivity feedback need to be …

This brief presents the design of a discrete-time sliding mode control (DSMC) for spatial
power stabilization of advanced heavy water reactor (AHWR). Mathematical model of AHWR …

Spatial oscillations developed in a large nuclear reactor like an advanced heavy water
reactor (AHWR) needs to be controlled properly for their safe operation. These spatial …

Spatial oscillations in the neutron flux distribution due to xenon reactivity feedback requires
stringent control in large nuclear reactors, like advanced heavy water reactor (AHWR). If the …

Control and operation of large nuclear reactors pose several challenges. First and foremost
difficulty is the development of a suitable mathematical model, which in itself is the most …

This paper introduces a formulation for design of Fast Output Sampling (FOS) controllers for
three-time-scale systems. It is shown that the FOS control gain for a three-time-scale system …

The advanced heavy-water reactor (AHWR) is large, modern vertical pressure tube nuclear
reactor. It exhibits oscillations caused by disturbance in reactivity and leads to unequal …

This paper develops a novel equivalent input disturbance (EID)-based adaptive sliding
mode control (SMC) method for singularly perturbed systems (SPSs). Firstly, the block …
