Autonomous Controls For Reactor Technologies (acorn)
Abstract
ACORN (Autonomous Controls fOr Reactor techNologies) software utilizes data, obtained from an experimental test bed and/or simulation, to implement a control command for microreactor operation. Command examples include a change to the temperature profile, power profiles, heat fluxes, etc. The control command recommended by the code is derived based on future predicted states of a microreactor, allowing proactive optimal and autonomous microreactor operation. The software is written in Python languages. The current software supports autonomous temperature controls of heat pipe simulator and autonomous heat flux controls of a 37 heat pipe non-nuclear testbed simulator (or its surrogate models).
