Data for: Profiling and Analysis of Control Rod Speed Design on Core Power Control for TRIGA Reactor

The control rod speed design (CRSD) for core power control has been designed with the actual control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) model by considering the different type of saturations (hard saturation, soft saturation and sigmoid saturation), changes in the maximum control rod speed limiter and reactivity worth curve (experimental data) to predict the best response reactivity insertion rate for operating TRIGA research reactor. The new CRSD (nCRSD) model has been integrated with existing PI-type power controller to study the effects control performance (including small settling time, smoothness control surface during transient, small chattering error during steady-state and actuation signal for CRDM) of the proposed model. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested by numerical simulations (Matlab/Simulink) and verified with experimental data from real plant by comparing the results with the conventional CRSD (cCRSD based on hard saturation and slow control rod speed).
