An Application of DSD with Recursive Partitioning Scheme to Constant Temperature Power Sensors

The DSD (Dynamic System Doctor) is system independent, stateIparameter estimation software. The DSD is based on the modeling of system evolution in terms of probability of transitions within user specified time intervals between sets of user defined parameterIstate variable magnitude intervals that partition the system state space. Recently a recursive partitioning scheme has been developed for DSD that reduces the estimation time and memory requirements, as well as making DSD more user friendly. The scheme is illustrated using a non-linear model for the constant temperature power sensor, proposed for direct core power distribution monitoring in Generation 4 nuclear power reactors
