Abstract

From 1995–1999 a R&D project on fuzzy control applications to the Belgian Reactor 1 (BR1) was conducted at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK·CEN). Due to the safety regulations of the nuclear reactor, it is not realistic to perform many experiments at BR1. In this situation, part of the pre-processing experiments had to be carried outside the reactor (e.g., comparisons of different methods and the preliminary choices of the parameters). Therefore a water-level control system, referred to as a real-time control demo-model, was designed and constructed. In this paper, the construction of the demo-model and related hardware aspects is firstly outlined, then the results of a fuzzy control (Mamdani-type) and an adaptive fuzzy control are presented. The adaptive fuzzy control is a fuzzy control with an adaptive function that can self-regulate the fuzzy control rules. Finally, an implementation of a computer simulation is introduced with an adaptive fuzzy control for this real-time control demo-model.
