Abstract:

An integral output controller is developed for small load changes to a Foster Wheeler ESD-III boiler. The CONSYN program, a coding of modern control algorithms, is utilized to produce a feasible control law for a developed state variable boiler model. The resultant closed loop responses of both a full 10th order and a reduced 7th order boiler model are determined using CSMP-III, the IBM simulation language. Author
