Application of Fuzzy PID in Fluoride Salt Cooled High Temperature Reactor’s Nuclear Power Level Control

This paper explores the application of Fuzzy Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control systems in managing the nuclear power level of Fluoride Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactors (FHRs). Given the complex and highly nonlinear nature of nuclear reactor dynamics, traditional PID controllers may fall short in achieving optimal control performance in different operation conditions. This study proposes a Fuzzy PID control strategy that adapts to the reactor's operating conditions in real-time. The effectiveness of the Fuzzy PID controller is demonstrated through simulation results, showing favorable control over the nuclear power level.
