Multi-Turbine and Reactor PID Controller - In Development

Currently in development as a personal project to hone my skills in control theory and pick up Lua because…why not…

Primary Objectives:

• PID control for a central reactor feeding multiple turbines
• Reactor PID control to minimize heat but keep individual turbines fed as needed
• Turbine PID control based off non-linear function
• Easy configuration to handle multiple turbines via modems
• Auto-Tune feature per turbine
• Auto-Tune feature per reactor (to account for different designs people may use or multiple reactors)

Secondary objectives:

• Screen Output of current system state
• Useful Interactive GUI

Tertiary Objectives:

• High Speed Turbine Control 2700 rpm and beyond (Use at your own risk! The future might go boom!)

Planned Features:

• Independent PID control per Turbine at Optimal RPM points (900, 1800, etc)
• Independent PID control for the reactor Steam output
• Full Auto-Tune Sequence for turbine operating speeds
• Non-Linear PID function (See Google docs spreadsheet for power output functions)
• Alternate Linear PID function
• Manual configuration of PID parameters with non-linear configuration available
• Multiple warnings depending on PID parameters and reactor requirements( Example: Unable to Reach Required RPM,
• Emergency Shut down sequence
• Powered Spin Up Sequence
• Fast Spin up Sequence
• Passive Reactor Control based on rf/tick output
