ON-LINE INTELLIGENT SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING FOR NEXT GENERATION NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

摘要

This paper describes a novel approach and reports preliminary results of initial testing of a technology demonstration for an on-line intelligent Self-Diagnostic Monitoring System (SDMS) for possible use in next generation nuclear power plants. The SDMS will detect, monitor, and diagnose various degradation precursors and resultant mechanisms, and their effects on reliability and service life. The goal of this project is to provide the proof-of-concept demonstration for SDMS technology, including novel software architecture, distributed data processing and the use of wireless smart multi-sensor modules.
