The deployments of SMR will require new digital control system that will facilitate fast and real time responses with considerations of human factors while analyzing models, monitoring techniques, safety and emergency systems, and SMR integrations in view of related standards. The proposed project will study the integrated digital control system with these details: (a) digital control design, inputs, outputs, visualization, and technologies; (b) environmental state variables and monitoring systems related to the SMR site; (c) human state variables including physical and mental models, human reliability, performance, and monitoring systems; (d) SMR process state variables, including physical system models; (e) state variables of SMR integration with the grid, renewables, storage, and other applications; (f) co-simulation to integrate the digital control to provide evaluation of different scenarios based on number of SMR operating conditions to support operation; (g) standards related to SMR design and operation of digital control and systems and human factors; (h) safety, reliability, and emergency state variables and monitoring systems and their implementations within the digital control system. The proposed integrated digital control room will be demonstrated using co-simulation, monitoring, visualization, and data analytics to evaluate different design technologies, and operation scenarios.
