The power control system of a nuclear reactor is one of the key systems that concern the safe operation of the plant. Much attention is paid to the power control systems’ performance of nuclear reactor in engineering. The goal of this paper is apply balance model reductionto derive reduced order model and then design the reduced optimal controller for nuclear reactor power system.The simulation results with reduced-order model and with optimized controller show that the proposed technique is improved .

In this paper, we consider a boundary control problem governed by the two-dimensional Burgers’ equation for a configuration describing convective flow over an obstacle. Flows over obstacles are important as they arise in many practical applications. Burgers’ equations are also significant as they represent a simpler form of the more general Navier–Stokes momentum equation describing fluid flow. The aim of the work is to develop a reduced-order boundary control-oriented model for the system with subsequent nonlinear control law design. The control objective is to drive the full order system to a desired 2D profile. Reduced-order modeling involves the application of an L2 optimization based actuation mode expansion technique for input separation, demonstrating how one can obtain a reduced-order Galerkin model in which the control inputs appear as explicit terms. Controller design is based on averaging and center manifold techniques and is validated with full order numerical simulation. Closed-loop results are compared to a standard linear quadratic regulator design based on a linearization of the reduced-order model. The averaging∕center manifold based controller design provides smoother response with less control effort and smaller tracking error.

This paper proposes an experimental study on the arrangements between the setting points of an actuator and sensor for the vibration control of a flexible structure, when a vibration controller is mounted at an arbitrary position on the structure. The important vibration mode of the structure to be controlled is its first mode, because it is excited most sensitively by strong winds. It is therefore necessary to make a reduced-order model represented by a one-degree-of-freedom system at an arbitrary location, in consideration of preventing spillover instability. In this paper, non-observability is used for making the reduced-order model, and the LQ control theory is used for controller design. For controlling vibration, a reduced-order model is constructed at the setting point of a hybrid dynamic absorber, and a displacement sensor is set at the vibration node of the second vibration mode. Then, the setting point of the sensor is changed to compare control effects by means of this model. It is demonstrated experimentally that a hybrid dynamic absorber, designed by this method, is capable of controlling vibration well without causing spillover instability. In addition, it is considered that the setting point of the sensor influences the robustness of the control system.

A lateral flight reduced-order controller for a flexible aircraft is presented. It is based on the reduced-order model of the flexible aircraft and theμ-analysis and synthesis toolbox. The first step deals with the order reduction of the full-model by using the balanced-truncation model reduction method. Then the reduced-orderHcontroller is achieved by using theμ-analysis and synthesis theory and applied to the reduced-order model and full-order model of the flexible aircraft. Finally, numerical results are presented and discussed. The simulation results show the efficiency of the reduced-order controller based on the reduced-order model since the close-loop system of the full-order model meets a set of realistic specifications in the frequency and time domains.
