Steam generator model for real-time analysis

Plant safety as well as plant availability can significantly be improved if functions such as data validation, plant state verification and fault identification are automated. This can be achieved if computers are utilized, with plant models that run in real-time, for continuous on-line plant information processing and analysis. Such models can also be used in plant simulators for operator training. This paper presents a model for real-time analysis of a once-through liquid-metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) steam generator
