Abstract
EXTRA is an experimental expert system for industrial process control. The main objectives are the diagnosis and operation aids. From a methodological point of view, EXTRA is based on a deep knowledge of the plant operation and on qualitative simulation principles. The application concerns all the electric power and the Chemical and Volume Control System of a P.W.R. nuclear plant.
The tests conducted on a full-scope simulator representative of the real plant yielded excellent results and taught us a number of lessons. The main lesson concerns the efficiency and flexibility provided by the combination of a knowledge-based system and of an advanced mini-computer.
A new version of EXTRA, with an extended application domain, is being developed and will be installed at one BUGEY unit (a 900 MW P.W.R. plant) in June of 1988.
