Abstract

This paper describes the intelligent distributed controls research laboratory (IDCRL) in the College of Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University (PSU). The center-piece of equipment is a modern distributed microprocessor-based control system which is interfaced to real-time simulations of power plant processes. Research into implementation issues of hierarchical and distributed control for large-scale power plant systems are now more fully explored at the university level. The microprocessor-based control system has also been interfaced to the PSU TRIGA nuclear research reactor and enables research in optimal, robust, intelligent, and other advanced control techniques for nuclear power plants.
