Electricite de France had nine patents in future of work during Q2 2024. The patent filed by Electricite de France SA in Q2 2024 describes a method for controlling a nuclear reactor by iteratively adjusting the injection of neutron poison and/or water based on current operating parameters. This method uses a predictive model of the reactor core to calculate the evolution of core characteristics and evaluates a cost function to determine the optimal injection sequence. The process is repeated with a time period of less than 60 minutes until a convergence criterion is met.

Application: Method and assembly for controlling a nuclear reactor, nuclear reactor equipped with such an assembly (Patent ID: US20240194360A1)
The patent filed by Electricite de France SA describes a method for controlling a nuclear reactor that involves acquiring current operating parameters, generating an injection sequence of neutron poison and/or water, calculating the evolution of core state characteristics, evaluating a cost function, and repeating these steps until convergence. The method aims to optimize the injection sequence to meet specific criteria within a time period of less than 60 minutes. The control assembly for implementing this method includes a user interface for entering a power program, a calculation unit with an optimization algorithm and predictive model, and a cost module to calculate the cost function, ultimately providing the operator with the optimum injection sequence.
The method outlined in the patent focuses on controlling a nuclear reactor by iteratively adjusting the injection of neutron poison and water based on current operating parameters and a predictive model of the core. The goal is to minimize a cost function by optimizing the injection sequence within a short time frame. The control assembly includes components such as an optimization algorithm, a predictive model, and a cost module to facilitate this process, ultimately providing the operator with the best injection sequence to meet the convergence criterion. This method allows for efficient and effective control of the nuclear reactor to ensure safe and optimal operation.
