第四代(Gen-IV)核电站旨在提升性能、安全性和可持续性,但高昂成本阻碍其部署。本文设计了一种数字孪生框架,用于氟盐冷却高温反应堆(Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor)的运行优化。该框架结合代理建模、强化学习与贝叶斯推断,实现端到端在线调控与自调整。强化学习考虑组件健康退化以驱动目标功率输出,通过参考调度器(Reference Governor)算法确保泵流量与温度在限值内。输入模块依赖高频率在线仿真数据,经贝叶斯滤波与实测数据融合。三个案例验证:一年长期运行中的维护规划能力、高频测量下短期精度优化,以及边界条件突变时的实时再校准能力。结果表明该框架具备健康感知与约束驱动的鲁棒性,可推广至其他先进反应堆与复杂工程系统。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generation IV (Gen-IV) nuclear power plants are envisioned to replace the current reactor fleet, bringing improvements in performance, safety, reliability, and sustainability. However, large cost investments currently inhibit the deployment of these advanced reactor concepts. Digital twins bridge real-world systems with digital tools to reduce costs, enhance decision-making, and boost operational efficiency. In this work, a digital twin framework is designed to operate the Gen-IV Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor, utilizing data-enhanced methods to optimize operational and maintenance policies while adhering to system constraints. The closed-loop framework integrates surrogate modeling, reinforcement learning, and Bayesian inference to streamline end-to-end communication for online regulation and self-adjustment. Reinforcement learning is used to consider component health and degradation to drive the target power generations, with constraints enforced through a Reference Governor control algorithm that ensures compliance with pump flow rate and temperature limits. These input driving modules benefit from detailed online simulations that are assimilated to measurement data with Bayesian filtering. The digital twin is demonstrated in three case studies: a one-year long-term operational period showcasing maintenance planning capabilities, short-term accuracy refinement with high-frequency measurements, and system shock capturing that demonstrates real-time recalibration capabilities when change in boundary conditions. These demonstrations validate robustness for health-aware and constraint-informed nuclear plant operation, with general applicability to other advanced reactor concepts and complex engineering systems.
