An integrated architecture for signal validation in power plants

The architecture of a comprehensive signal validation system (SVS), which integrates various signal processing modules, is described. The architecture of the SVS consists of several parallel signal processing modules, with each module operating independently. The functional coordination of the modules and the decision about the overall signal status are performed by a system executive. The various techniques have been tested using pressurized water reactor plant operational data. The diversity of the modules increases the reliability of the decision about the validity of measurements
