Instrumentation and Controls
An essential component of digital innovation that enables a high degree of automation and charts a path towards autonomous control.
The development of advanced instrumentation is an essential component of digital innovation. Sensing technologies with real time or faster than real time capability provide a dramatic increase in the volume and quality of process variables data in digital I&C systems, enabling a higher degree of automation and charting the path towards autonomous control. Optical fiber and acoustic based interrogation systems for example enable collection of data with unprecedented time and space resolution. Multi-point and multi-mode analog sensors contribute to higher data availability, while embedded digitizers allow efficient integration in modern I&C systems.
Controls can be defined as the science and engineering of methods and tools that initiate actions to actuators through measurements captured by sensors. Digital controls, and particularly those utilizing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and advanced methods to control a process, capitalize on advanced instrumentation capabilities. They require large volume of data and/or are coupled to a system model, often of reasonable fidelity and deployable scale (using reduced order modeling methods), to react to current system conditions (control) or predict and prepare for future actions (condition monitoring).
The integration of advanced instrumentation and control (I&C) technologies in the development of Digital Twins for modern industrial applications is a key element of digital innovation.
Collaborations & Projects:
In 2012, the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) initiated the Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies (NEET) program to conduct research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) to support existing, next generation of advanced reactor designs, and fuel cycle technologies. One of the NEET elements is Crosscutting Technology Development (CTD), which supports crosscutting RD&D activities to advance the state of nuclear technology, improve its competitiveness, and promote continued contribution to meet the Nation’s energy and environmental challenges. Within CTD, the Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation (ASI) program addresses critical technology gaps in the nuclear industry’s monitoring and control capabilities. This program is driving innovation in the measurement science field by supporting research on sensors, I&C, communication, big data analytics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI).

The selection of appropriate instruments is a key factor in enabling digital innovation. The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) maintains a searchable sensors technology database for nuclear applications. It provides information on current state of sensors development, availability, use cases, and also helps identify needs and gaps for sensor development to inform DOE-NE program priorities.

Capabilities:
INL Measurement Science Laboratories (MSL)
Measurement Science Laboratories (MSL) are a collection of laboratory spaces, equipment and capabilities that provide broad support to many programs within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) and allow access to researchers and engineers from organizations inside and outside INL. Instrumentation research, development and deployment activities at MSL leverage the portfolio of DOE-NE Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation program as needed to meet customer needs. MSL contain an array of specialized equipment for nuclear instruments development, fabrication and testing. The MSL provides research and development, testing and characterization, and engineering services including: developing and fabricating nuclear instrumentation, engineering services for instrumented irradiation rigs, and development of innovative sensing technologies.

Center for Reactor Instrumentation and Sensor Physics (CRISP)
CRISP connects experts from diverse organizations to devise solutions for sensing and instrumentation, and to test these systems under irradiation. CRISP’s mission is to advance the current state of automation in nuclear systems by developing foundational technologies to significantly reduce staffing levels needed in current and future nuclear power plants.
