In a nuclear power plant (NPP), periodic sensor calibrations are required to assure sensors are operating correctly. However, only a few faulty sensors are found to be calibrated. For the safe operation of an NPP and the reduction of unnecessary calibration, on-line calibration monitoring is needed. This paper presents an on-line sensor drift monitoring technique, based on a Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT), for detecting and estimating mean shifts in sensor signal. Also, principal component-based Auto-Associative support vector regression (AASVR) is proposed for the sensor signal validation of the NPP. Response surface methodology (RSM) is employed to efficiently determine the optimal values of SVR hyperparameters. The proposed model was confirmed with actual plant data of Kori NPP Unit 3. The results show that the accuracy of the model and the fault detection performance of the GLRT are very competitive.
