Optimal switching control of burner setting for a compact marine boiler design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses optimal control strategies for switching between different burner modes in a novel compact marine boiler design. The ideal behaviour is defined in a performance index the minimisation of which defines an ideal trade-off between deviations in boiler pressure and water level from their respective setpoints and the cost of burner switches and variation of continuous input flows. Direct minimisation was found computationally infeasible and two different suboptimal strategies have been considered. The first one is based on the mixed logical dynamical framework. The second approach is based on a generalisation of hysteresis control. The strategies are verified on a simulation model of the compact marine boiler for control of low/high burner load switches. & 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Hybrid Model Predictive Control Applied to Switching Control of Burner Load for a Compact Marine Boiler Design
This paper discusses the application of hybrid model predictive control to control switching between different burner modes in a novel compact marine boiler design. A further purpose of the present work is to point out problems with finite horizon model predictive control applied to systems for which the optimal solution is a limit cycle. Regarding the marine boiler control the aim is to find a...
متن کاملThe Application of Switching Control to Boiler-Turbine Coordination in Marine Steam Power Plant
In the marine steam power plant, the main boiler has the small size and the little heat capacity. However, marine ship requires high maneuverability, when it is running, the loads varied frequently, and the varying range is big, and this will cause the boiler security problem, such as over-pressure or under-voltage. The marine steam power plant boilerturbine coordinated control strategy is to s...

Demonstration of oxy-coal combustion is being planned for the old Youngdong unit 1 boiler in South Korea. The boiler is to be retrofitted to an opposed-wall-firing type with 100 MWe capacity for demonstration of oxy-fuel combustion while maintaining the original furnace shape of downshot firing. It is to be operated under oxy-coal combustion mode during demonstration periods while continuing co...

متن کاملThe Exact Solution of Min-Time Optimal Control Problem in Constrained LTI Systems: A State Transition Matrix Approach
In this paper, the min-time optimal control problem is mainly investigated in the linear time invariant (LTI) continuous-time control system with a constrained input. A high order dynamical LTI system is firstly considered for this purpose. Then the Pontryagin principle and some necessary optimality conditions have been simultaneously used to solve the optimal control problem. These optimality ...
