Abstract
Steam generator level control systems play a crucial role in ensuring safe, economical, and stable operation of nuclear power plants. However, traditional control systems exhibit limited efficiency in commissioning and are susceptible to human error. Additionally, traditional parameter tuning methods are typically experienced-based, cumbersome, and time-consuming, making it challenging to obtain optimal parameters. To address these issues, we propose a hybrid knowledge-guided improved simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation algorithm (HK-SPSA) to optimize the control parameters of steam generator level control systems. Firstly, the algorithm utilizes iteration point adjacency information to approximate the current optimization process status and guide the adaptive adjustment of the iteration step size. Secondly, it utilizes composite gradient information generated by the estimated historical and current gradients to guide the optimization direction and the tuning of iteration step size. Simulation experiments have shown that HK-SPSA improves optimization performance and reduces the costs of optimization and adjustment compared to traditional methods.
