Abstract

The wireless sensor network (WSN) has great potential in monitoring equipment and processes of nuclear power plants (NPPs). The WSN can not only lower the cost of regular monitoring, but also enable the capability to achieve intelligent monitoring. The massive and heterogeneous monitoring data collected by the WSN can contribute various monitoring applications, including the cyber and physical security defense, the fault detection and diagnosis, and the advanced operation and maintenance. The Wi-Fi technology is promising to be the underlying platform for the WSN in NPPs. Specific data-driven statistical algorithms for anomaly detection and identification are demonstrated.
