- An artificial neural network (ANN)-based diagnostic adviser capable of identifying the operating status of a nuclear power plant is described. A dynamic node architecture scheme is used to optimize the architectures of the two backpropagation ANNs that embody the adviser. The first or root network is used to determine whether or not the plant is in a normal operating condition. If the plant is not in a normal condition, the second or classifier network is used to recognize the particular off-normal condition or transient taking place. These networks are developed using simulated plant behavior during both normal and abnormal conditions. The adviser is effective at diagnosing 27 distinct transients based on 43 scenarios simulated at various severities that contain up to 3% noise.
