2 need to improve the plant availability enhancing the performance for Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) + a more and more ability to follow grid demands Classic control techniques Example: Proportional-Integral- Derivative controller Require a simple knowledge of the system, i.e., total thermal power or average temperature Zero dimensional or lumped parameter approach is sufficient Innovative control techniques Example: Optimal control Additional information regarding spatial distribution of neutron flux and temperature may be necessary Accurate and detailed spatial models are required Developing specific simulation tools allows improving the control system design
3 Fast-running, low order, ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) based, easy to linearize, comprehensive behaviour of the system, possibility to couple with the control system simulator How to enhance the level of detail and accuracy of the simulation tool in order to employ advanced control strategies without a strong computational burden?

5 . Input-output relationships have to be preserved. Guarantee the stability of the ROM. Computationally efficient Compromise between accuracy and efficiency Shapiro, B., 2003, "Creating Compact Models for Electronic Systems: An Overview and Suggested Use of Existing Model Reduction and Experimental System Identification Tools", IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology - Part A, 26 (1), pp

8 1) Collect few high-fidelity PDE solutions (snapshots) 2) Calculate the basis where project the governing equations 3) (Galerkin) projection. Never try to reduce the irreducible. If it is not in the snapshots, it is not in the ROM. Exploit the known structure of the solutions. Exploit the known physics of the problem. Divide et impera whenever possible Taken form Rozza et al., Reduced Basis Approximation and a Posteriori Error estimation for Affinely Parametrized Elliptic Coercive PDEs.

11 From a Full Order Model to a Reduced order model Transform the partial differential equations (PDEs) of the neutron diffusion into a set of ODEs involving only the time-dependent coefficient: φ 1 V t = D φ Σ a φ Σ s φ + 1 β χ p F T φ + λ j χ d C j j C j t = λ jc j + β j F T φ j = 1 8 Ansatz or God s bounty theorem* N φ r, t ψ i r n i t i=1 Spatial basis where the flux is projected * P.

Affine representation. Selection of the spatial basis ψ i. Selection of the test functions ξ i They have an impact in terms of efficiency, accuracy and computational time

15 Which test functions can be selected? [4] The same functions which constitute the spatial basis ξ i = ψ i The test functions can be different from the spatial basis modes Due to the specific meaning in the neutronics field (and for other interesting properites), a possible candidate are the adjoint functions of the spatial basis! ξ i = ψ i Method for the spatial basis Test function Function of spatial basis Adjoint functions MM Case A Case B POD Case C Case D

39 Coolant pool usually represented by 0D/1D models The local heterogeneity cannot be represented by a classic Thermal-Hydraulic (T-H) model. No info on spatial distribution of the flow, turbulence mixing and 3D effects. No possibility of exploiting all the capacities of advanced control schemes (i.e., the oxygen control is crucial for LFR) From a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of the pool to a reduced model able to catch the main T-H dynamics

41 . Innovative techniques to improve NPP availability and to follow grid demands. Development of specific simulation tools allows improving control system design Need to develop models that are both accurate and fast-running Good agreement w/ reference model for reactivity and transient behavior w/o an excessive computational cost Preliminary results on the entire core models (Serpent, Comsol) indicate satisfactory agreement w/ literature data Best results when considering the adjoint flux as test function Model under development ALFRED (LFR concept) as reference reactor for the present general purpose approach
