Dynamic Simulation of a CANDU

Abstract

This paper describes a CANDU 6 Simulation (C6SIM) engineering software, currently under development at the Information and Control Design Centre at Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) Mississauga Office. C6SIM is being developed using the mathematical and simulation software package, MATLAB/Simulink, and will simulate the dynamics of the major CANDU 6 plant and control systems. C6SIM is a design assist tool and can be used for analyses in time and frequency domains. Interfaces to other software simulations are also under development, which will allow C6SIM to work in conjunction with other codes such as CATHENA.
