Abstract | |||||
Reactivity measurement is crucial in monitoring nuclear reactors. Proper estimation of neutron flux derivative is one of the key to improve the reactivity estimation based on inverse kinetics (IK) method. Signal differentiation is widely used in system monitoring and control. The key problem in differentiator design is how to obtain a satisfactory tradeoff between differentiation exactness and robustness to uncertainties and noises. By proposing a new finite-time stabilizer for 2-order integrator chain, a new finite-time-convergent 2-order differentiator with bounded estimation error is developed. This differentiator is then applied to reactivity measurement through solving the IPK equation. Numerical simulation results not only verify the theoretical results but also show its satisfactory performance. | |||||
