Research on the configuration scheme and system parameter optimization of pumps in the component cooling system and sea water system for HPR1000 by Weiguang Zhao, Pei Yu, Xiaobo Zeng, Guangming Fan, Zhaoming Meng, Changqi Yan

“…Based on a mathematical model for CCS and SWS that can be utilized for optimization calculations, we propose and validate an Improved Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (INSGA-II) with good algorithm performance, optimizing for system design costs and total operational costs as objectives, and provide a sensitivity analysis of relevant variables. The results demonstrate that compared to the prototype values of HPR1000, the investment costs of CCS and SWS can be reduced by up to 4.65 %, and the total operational costs can be decreased by as much as 63.6 %, with the optimization effect being most significant when variable frequency pumps are used in CCS and SWS.…”
