Research on reactor power prediction of nuclear power plant based on multivariate optimization GRU model

In the operation of nuclear power plants, the accurate prediction of power change trends is crucial for ensuring safety and stability. In this work, a ML-GRU-RS method, based on model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML), gate recurrent unit (GRU), and random search optimization, is proposed for the long-term prediction of key parameters of nuclear power plants. This method combines the fast adaptability of MAML, the time series data processing capability of GRU, and the optimization efficiency of random search to achieve high-precision predictions under varying power conditions. The results demonstrate that this method can effectively predict the future trends of key parameters in nuclear power plants. The ability of operators to anticipate these trends has been significantly enhanced, contributing to the overall safety of the nuclear power plants.
