This paper introduces the
simulation, and controls using Simulink of MATLAB for PCTRAN (Personal Computer Transient Analysis)
of the power control system (PWR) type pressurized water reactor of PWR
WESTINGHOUSE AP1000. The
power controller model produces mathematical model description in nonlinear
relation form in Simulink of MATLAB which is an important and popular program used at most universities for education. The power controller is described by a block diagram in this paper and some details
introduce to clearly understand the
