Keywords: Nuclear reactor, multivariable feedback control, optimal control
Abstract: Multivariable feedback control has been adapted for optimal control of the spatial power distribution in nuclear reactor cores. Two design techniques, based on the theory of automatic control, were developed: the State Variable Feedback (SVF) is an application of the linear optimal control theory, and the Multivariable Frequency Response (MFR) is based on a generalization of the traditional frequency response approach to control system design.
