Abstract

The invention relates to a computer-assisted method for determining an optimal core-loading pattern for a nuclear reactor core. Respective positions of nuclear fuel assemblies are tested by these means in order to assign optimal positions to the assemblies and proceed with loading the reactor. The reactor core comprises cells positioned symmetrically relative to axes of symmetry, with standard assemblies being intended to be inserted into respective cells. These standard assemblies for future loading are distributed according to the number of production cycles that they have previously undergone. Additionally, groups of cell positions that are symmetric relative to the axes of symmetry are identified, and the number of symmetric positions in each group is counted. Families of standard assemblies are formed, such that the standard assemblies of the same family have at least similar burnups. Each family comprises a number of standard assemblies that corresponds to the number of positions of one of the groups. Numerical simulation is used to test the loading pattern formed by the standard assemblies in initial positions and then the positions of standard assemblies are switched while maintaining the previously formed families of assemblies. Numerical simulation is used to test the loading pattern formed by the standard assemblies in the switched positions relative to a predetermined criterion, this step being repeated until at least one candidate pattern for loading the reactor is obtained.

Said process comprises: - measuring (110) an output power PMC of the complete module; - calculating (130) an estimated output power PDC of said final junction layer of the module based on the first irradiance in a turned-over position of the module, referred to as the second life position, in which the second face of the module becomes the upper face of the module and the first face of the module becomes the lower face of the module; - comparing (140) said estimated output power PDC of said final junction layer with the output power PMC of the complete module measured when the first face is the upper face of the module, in order to send a recommendation to turn over (150) the module when the output power PMC of the complete module in the basic position becomes less than the estimated output power PDC of said final junction layer in the turned-over position of the module.

Abstract

A method for determining a health status of a system of interest is proposed. The method comprises acquiring (S1) a time series, extracting (S2) subsequences, selecting (S3) a set of subsequences, classifying (S4) the subsequences of the set into several groups on the basis of at least one criterion of resemblance to at least one reference subsequence, and constructing (S5) a normal operating model of the system of interest. The construction includes, for each group, a modeling (S51) of a representative subsequence and a determination (S52) of an associated weight. The normal model is defined by the modeled subsequences and the associated weights. The method further includes an attribution (S6) of a normality score to each subsequence extracted by comparison with the normal model, an identification (S7) of at least one abnormal subsequence, and a determination (S8) of the health status of the system of interest.

Abstract

A method for determining an aging of a battery having a variable state of charge within a cycling window forming a portion of a nominal operating domain. The method comprises: getting a tracking of a state of charge of the battery as a function of time over an interval of time, where the tracking comprises an alternation of calls for charging and discharging within the cycling window; for a plurality of calls over the time interval, getting a value of an electric measure indicative of energy exchanged by the battery during said call and estimating a state of health of the battery during said call based on said value; and determining an aging of the battery, on the basis of the estimated states of health.
