Abstract

Nuclear reactor operation is a human intensive task; one of the features of a problem for which fuzzy controllers present the most suitable solution. The performance of the fuzzy controllers can further be improved through tuning. In this work, application of a fuzzy controller in real-time control of a nuclear reactor is presented. The fuzzy controller is tuned on-line using direct gradient search method.
