ABSTRACT

Many designers have proposed advanced nuclear power plant solutions with many different designs. However, modeling and control strategies for handling load following operations are still lacking. This study explores possible modeling methods and load tracking control strategies for gas turbine nuclear power plants. With a view to providing an evaluation method for conceptual design, and studying the frequency control strategy and average temperature control mechanism of nuclear power plant tracking load, the suitability of the control strategy and conceptual design was evaluated by a linear stability analysis method. An advanced molten salt reactor, the concept is taken as an example, and the numerical results of the nuclear power plant system are given to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed modeling and load tracking control strategy.
