Abstract

In this paper, an optimal rule based fuzzy proportional integral controller is proposed to control the core power of the molten salt breeder reactor (MSBR) model. Firstly, a nonlinear MSBR model is considered. It is then linearized using the perturbation linearizing approach, and the transfer function of the linearized MSBR system is established. Secondly, an optimal Fuzzy-PI control structure is formulated where a PI controller is set as the principal controller for the MSBR model and a fuzzy control system is used to adjust the PI controller parameters during any disturbance in the MSBR. The rule base system of the fuzzy controller is optimized with a reshaped class topper optimization algorithm. Finally, the optimized Fuzzy-PI controller tests under a variety of conditions. Furthermore, the Nyquist stability approach is used to analyze the stability of the closed loop MSBR model.
