Development of an integrated signal validation system and application to operating power plants

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6343780
The objective of the university-industry joint research program at the University of Tennessee and Combustion Engineering, Inc. is to develop and implement a comprehensive signal validation system for current power plants and future advanced reactors. The integrated system consists of several parallel signal processing modules. The multi-modular decision information is combined to detect, isolate and characterize faulty signals. The signal validation system has been implemented in a VAX workstation and applied to operational data from a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II). The use of the various signal validation techniques may be extended to predictive maintenance advising, instrument calibration verification, and to the development of intelligent instrumentation systems. 18 refs., 6 figs.
