摘要

The space nuclear reactor power source (SNRPS) offers advantages such as independence from solar energy, a wide power range, and excellent environmental adaptability, making it an ideal power source for constructing the lunar base. However, unlike ground-based nuclear power plants, SNRPS cannot rely on the distributed control system and operators for state monitoring and precise control, resulting in innovative yet high-risk challenges. Establishing a Digital Twin-based Operational Control Platform (DT-OCP) on the ground, combined with the communication system, is crucial for enabling real-time monitoring, fault detection, and control support for SNRPS. This paper proposes a conceptual design of DT-OCP for SNRPS. Key technologies are discussed, and recommendations for technological breakthroughs and engineering development are provided.
