Dane Sabo d2997c2861 plant-model: add shutdown/heatup/scram controllers and LQR, linearize
Fill out the DRC mode set with ctrl_shutdown (u = -5*beta), ctrl_scram
(u = -8*beta), and ctrl_heatup (feedback-linearizing P on ramped T_avg
reference, saturated u, no integrator). Add ctrl_operation_lqr as a
full-state-feedback counterpart to ctrl_operation — K cached, closed-loop
essentially perfect under the 100%->80% Q_sg step where plain P has ~5F
overshoot.

Add pke_linearize for numerical (A, B, B_w) Jacobians at any operating
point; test_linearize confirms ~4e-4 rel err vs nonlinear sim for a
5% Q_sg step. Extend pke_solver with an optional x0 argument so each
mode can start from a plausible IC.

main_mode_sweep.m exercises all five modes back-to-back and saves the
4-panel plots. CLAUDE.md updated with model-validity-range note (trust
region is ~+/-50C around operating point; true cold shutdown is out of
scope for the linear feedback coefficients).

Hacker-Split: build out control layer end-to-end for reachability.

pwr-hybrid-3-demo

Preliminary example for the HAHACS thesis — a verified hybrid controller for a small modular PWR startup. Composes three layers into one demonstrable pipeline:

  • Discrete layer (fret-pipeline/): FRET natural-language requirements → LTL → synthesized AIGER controller → state-machine diagram.
  • Continuous layer (plant-model/): 10-state point kinetic equation + thermal-hydraulics PWR model with bounded steam-generator heat removal as the disturbance input.
  • Research context (thesis/): the HAHACS PhD proposal that motivates and formalizes the methodology.

Quickstart

Clone with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules <url>
cd pwr-hybrid-3-demo

Run the controller synthesis pipeline:

cd fret-pipeline
python3 scripts/fret_to_synth.py pwr_hybrid_3.json specs/synthesis_config_v3.json
bash scripts/synthesize.sh specs/synthesis_config_v3.json circuits
python3 scripts/trace_aiger.py circuits/PWR_HYBRID_3_DRC.aag diagrams
dot -Tpng diagrams/PWR_HYBRID_3_DRC_states.dot -o diagrams/PWR_HYBRID_3_DRC_states.png

Run the plant model (MATLAB or GNU Octave in plant-model/):

main

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • Spot for ltlsynt (brew install spot)
