Observer-controller design for reduced-order of nuclear reactor system via Balancing approximation

The power control system of a nuclear reactor is one of the key systems that concern the safe operation of the plant. Much attention is paid to the power control systems´ performance of nuclear reactor in engineering. The goal of this paper is apply Balancing approximation method to derive reduced order model and then design observer-controller for reactor power control system. The simulation results shows that the design method developed by this paper has good and satisfactory performance.
