Abstract

See full text

A method regulates operating parameters comprising at least the mean temperature of the core (Tm), and the axial power (AO) imbalance. The method includes development of a vector (US) of control values of the nuclear reactor by a supervisor (31) implementing a predictive control algorithm; development of a vector (uK) of corrective values of the nuclear reactor controls by a regulator (33) implementing a sequenced gain control algorithm; development of a vector (U) of corrected values of the commands of the nuclear reactor, by using the vector (US) of the values of the commands produced by the supervisor (31) and the vector (uK) of the corrective values of the commands produced by the regulator (33); and regulation of the operating parameters of the nuclear reactor, by controlling actuators using the vector (U) of the corrected values of the controls.
