The SP-100 space nuclear reactor was designed to provide a realistic and reliable source of very long-term power for space exploration and exploitation activities. The SP-100 system is a fast spectrum lithium-cooled reactor system with an electric power rating of 100 kW. The control functions needed for SP-100 can be ensured only by an autonomous
The project Final Report describes the development of the SP-100 space reactor simulation model in MATLAB-SIMULINK, development and application of the MPC controller and the fault-tolerant control strategy, development of a laboratory multivariate control test loop,
The reactor will be controlled by 12 hinged radial reflector elements of BeO located outside of the reactor vessel. Both rods and reflectors will have scram capability and bodi will be
Neutron Sensors in the SP-100 Reactor Control System Abstract: The reference reactor control approach for the mature Generic Night System (GFS) utilizes highly reliable and diverse reactor outlet temperature measurements for control and protection.
1 lis 2006 · In this work, the fuzzy model predictive controller optimized by the genetic algorithm was developed to control the nuclear power in the SP-100 space reactor system. Based on a fuzzy model consisting of the control drum angle change and the TE power, the future TE power is predicted by using the fuzzy model identified by a subtractive ...
10 kwi 2017 · In this paper, a space reactor core dynamics is identified online by a recursive least-squares method. Based on this identified reactor model consisting of the control reactivity and the thermal electric generator power, the future thermoelectric (TE) generator power is predicted.
SP-100 reactor for lunar surface power system applications. Two designs were characterized and modeled. The first design integrates a 100-kWe SP-100 Brayton power system with a lunar lan-der. This system is intended to meet early lunar mission power needs while minimizing on-site installation requirements.
