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

仪表与控制(I&C)系统是任何核电站的大脑和神经系统。它们的**性能最终决定了工厂的安全和运营效率。在前两届NSERC/UNNE工业研究教席(IRC)项目**中，锦江博士在基于现场总线和无线技术的**建模、控制和性能监控领域表现出色。我们已经建立了一支强大的研究团队和最先进的设施来支持这一领域的研究。IRC计划第三任期的研究**目标是进一步利用已建立的基础设施来提高核电站的安全性和**运行效率，并继续培训优秀的HQP，为加拿大**核工业**提供新的领导素质和新想法。**拟议的研究可分为两个主题：(1)先进控制系统；和(2)**性能监控，这两个主题都适用于核电站。第一个主题为先进控制**系统的研究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)SCWR控制**，以及5)先进技术(现场总线，无线)的采用。在第二个主题下，将研究事故前和事故后状况监测系统的技术**。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)核电站状态监测的智能**设备，3)环境监测，以及4)事故后条件下的辐射监测，其中将研究抗辐射的无线传感器技术。**预计未来5年将通过该计划培训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.**
