NSERC/UNENE Industrial Research Chair in Control, Instrumentation and Electrical Systems in Nuclear Power Plants

仪表和控制（I&C）系统是任何核电厂的大脑和神经系统。他们的 性能最终决定了工厂的安全和运行效率。在前两届任期内， 作为NSERC/UNENE工业研究主席（IRC）项目的负责人，姜进博士在以下领域表现出色： 基于现场总线和无线技术的建模、控制和性能监测。我们已经建立了一个 强大的研究团队和最先进的设施，以支持这一领域的研究。研究的目标 IRC计划的第三个目标是进一步利用已建立的基础设施来提高安全性， 核电站的运行效率，并继续培训优秀的HQP，以供应加拿大 新的领导素质和新的想法。 本研究主要分为两个主题：（1）先进控制系统;（2） 性能监测，用于核电厂。第一个主题下的研究，先进控制 系统，将分为安全系统和过程控制系统。将研究五个主题， 包括1）预测安全系统，2）被动安全系统，3）智能自主控制，4）控制 5）采用先进技术（现场总线、无线）。在第二个主题下， 事故发生前和事故发生后的状态监测系统将被检查。该主题包括 四个主题：1）核电站内设备健康监测的无线技术，2）智能 用于工厂状态监测的设备，3）环境监测，以及4） 事故后的条件下，辐射加固无线传感器技术将进行调查。 预计在今后5年内，将通过该方案培训21名高素质人员。

Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems are the brain and nerve systems for any nuclear power plant. Their performance ultimately determines the safety and operational efficiency of the plant. In the previous two terms of the NSERC/UNENE Industrial Research Chair (IRC) program, Dr. Jin Jiang has excelled in the areas of modeling, control, and performance monitoring based on fieldbus and wireless technologies. We have built a strong research team and state-of-the-art facilities to support the research in this area. The goal of the research in the third term of this IRC program is to further leverage the established infrastructure to improve safety and operational efficiency of nuclear power plants, and to continue training outstanding HQP to supply Canadian nuclear industries with new leadership quality and new ideas. The proposed research can be divided into two main themes: (1) Advanced Control Systems; and (2) Performance Monitoring, both for nuclear power plants. The research under the first theme, Advanced Control Systems, will be divided into safety systems and process control systems. Five topics will be investigated, including 1) predictive safety systems, 2) passive safety systems, 3) intelligent autonomous control, 4) control for SCWR, and 5) adoption of advanced technologies (fieldbus, wireless). Under the second theme, techniques for both pre-accident and post-accident condition monitoring systems will be examined. This theme consists of four topics: 1) wireless technologies for equipment health monitoring within a nuclear power plant, 2) smart devices for plant condition monitoring, 3) environment monitoring, as well as 4) radiation monitoring in a post-accident condition where radiation hardened wireless sensor technologies will be investigated. It is expected that 21 highly qualified personnel will be trained through this program over the next 5 years.
