COMPARISON OF PID AND FUZZY-PID CONTROL FOR NUCLEAR STEAM BOILER LEVEL CONTROL

This paper presents control of water level of the steam boiler of nuclear power plant by using PID and Fuzzy-PID controller. In nuclear power plants, boilers are used to convert water into steam in which the water level control of boiler is very important as to provide sufficient cooling to the nuclear reactor and prevent damage of turbine blades. In order to compensate difficulty to control the level of boiler we propose the design of tuning of PID controller by a fuzzy logic controller in the level control of the steam generator of a nuclear power plant.
