Abstract
Template matching, which is a pattern recognition method, was adopted to identify the transient in a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The transient data were generated using a plant simulation code, PCTran-PWR, and transformed into a feature vector sequence (FVS). The data set contained such FVS as the reference transients. To compare the FVS of the test transient and reference transient, a cost function was defined and dynamic programming was applied to obtain the minimum cost function value, which would indicate the degree of matching between the two transients. Considering the discrepancy between the real plant and the model to generate the transient data, the same test and reference transient may not be matched exactly. A dynamic threshold value was designed to determine if the test transient matched the reference transient of the data set. Experiments were performed and the results showed that the method was successful.
