Abstract

The implementation of a dynamic inversion based controller of the pressure controlling tank located in the primary circuit of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Hungary is presented in this paper The implemented controller has a distributed structure including measurement and control PLCs, a continuous power controller and a special supervisor module. The hardware and software design and implementation meet the safety-critical requirements imposed by the special nature of the controlled plant.
