✦ Synopsis

Optimal control theory is applied to the design of a temperature controller for the primary coolant in a nuclear power plant. The optimal control law is obtained via orthogonal transformations applied to an augmented system consisting of models of the plant and measurable disturbances and a reference model to follow. Divergent oscillations caused by velocity limits of the actuator are suppressed by a new anti-reset windup device. Performances and robustness of this control system are examined and shown to be superior to that of other existing or proposed controllers.
