مستخلص: The thermal inertia results in net heat absorption in natural circulation lead-cooled reactors during power variation processes, increasing the risk of core meltdown. In this study, a dynamic simulation model of a natural circulation lead-cooled fast reactor coupled with a supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton Cycle power generation system has been developed based on Vpower. The influence of thermal inertia on system operating temperature under different power variation rates was discussed. The results indicate that during power reduction, different decline rates only affect the temperature variation range of the system without impacting the final stable state. However, during power increase, different ramp rates not only affect the temperature variation range but also lead to varying degrees of system temperature rise. To address this issue, an optimized turbine throttling scheme is proposed. Compared to the original plan, the new plan successfully stabilizes the temperature at the rated value after increasing the system power. This study provides insights for the operation control strategy of similar reactor types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
