Abstract :
This study presents the design of digital controllers and simulation results for Robinson nuclear plant. A mathematical model for the Robinson pressurised water reactor (PWR) plant is formulated. Three different schemes are implemented for sliding mode control (SMC), the adaptive SMC, disturbance estimator and multi-rate output feedback. A comparison of simulation results is presented and evaluated.
