Small modular reactor (SMR) is a complex, time-varying
and strongly coupled nonlinear system, which adopts integrated
design with short pipeline and small coolant inventory. sensor
failure of SMR under frequent load-following conditions
threatens the safety of reactor. It is an effective way to realize
sensor fault tolerance by abnormal sensing value
reconstruction with machine learning method. In this paper, a
sensing value prediction model combining hybrid dilated
convolution neural network and long-term memory (LSTM)
neural network is proposed. The dilated convolution neural
network is used to extract the feature information in the data
set as the input of LSTM. LSTM is trained through training set
to obtain the predicted sensor parameter time series. The
training set is obtained from the SMR simulation model
established by RELAP5 code. Multiple sensing values are input
to each other's prediction model, in order to avoid the one
abnormal sensing value affecting the prediction behavior of
other sensing value prediction models, the abnormal sensed
value is replaced by its predicted value as the input of other
models. The test set completely different from the training set is
used to verify the behavior of the prediction model. The results
show that the prediction model proposed in this paper fits the
real data well, which has good prediction behavior on sensing
value reconstruction.
