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。它们的性能最终决定了工厂的安全和运行效率。在NSERC/UNENE工业研究主席（IRC）项目的前两个学期中，姜进博士在基于现场总线和无线技术的建模、控制和性能监测领域表现出色。我们已经建立了强大的研究团队和最先进的设施，以支持这一领域的研究。第三期研究的目标是进一步利用现有的基础设施来提高核电厂的安全和运行效率，并继续培养优秀的HQP，为核电工业提供新的领导素质和新的思想。和（2）性能监测，均用于核电厂。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）SCWR控制，5）采用先进技术（现场总线，无线）。在第二个主题下，将研究事故前和事故后状态监测系统的技术。本主题由四个主题组成：1）用于核电站内设备健康监测的无线技术，2）用于电站状态监测的智能设备，3）环境监测，以及4）后辐射监测，事故条件下，辐射加固无线传感器技术将进行调查。预计21名高素质的人员将通过这个计划在未来5年

Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems are the brain and nerve systems for any nuclear power plant. Theirperformance ultimately determines the safety and operational efficiency of the plant. In the previous two termsof the NSERC/UNENE Industrial Research Chair (IRC) program, Dr. Jin Jiang has excelled in the areas ofmodeling, control, and performance monitoring based on fieldbus and wireless technologies. We have built astrong research team and state-of-the-art facilities to support the research in this area. The goal of the researchin the third term of this IRC program is to further leverage the established infrastructure to improve safety andoperational efficiency of nuclear power plants, and to continue training outstanding HQP to supply Canadiannuclear 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 ControlSystems, 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) controlfor SCWR, and 5) adoption of advanced technologies (fieldbus, wireless). Under the second theme, techniquesfor both pre-accident and post-accident condition monitoring systems will be examined. This theme consists offour topics: 1) wireless technologies for equipment health monitoring within a nuclear power plant, 2) smartdevices for plant condition monitoring, 3) environment monitoring, as well as 4) radiation monitoring in apost-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.
