Research Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a method of adaptive control in the temperature of superheated steam of power plant, by which the controller is adjusted automatically and the control performance is always kept at the optimum state for load changes in boiler. The following results are obtained.
1. A mathematical model is made for the temperature of superheated steam in a boiler.
2. Control behaviours using conventional PI controller are discussed for various load changes.
3. Gain-scheduled control system is also designed for load changes and is discussed.
4. Various methods of adaptive control are psoposed: classifying roughly, indirect method, direct method and bilinear model method.
As the indirect method, the following four control rules are considered:
(1) mimizing a quadradic performance function
(2) using compensators for known disturbances
(3) assigning poles of the control system
(4) predicting unknown output.
Moreover, a design method which takes account of an input saturation etc. is given.
5. Using a simulator of power plant, the above methods of adaptive control are discussed in detail. As a result, a method which gives a good response irrespective of load changes accompanied by variations in boiler characteristics are determined.
6. The control behaviours of the system in the case where a long operation is carried out are studied.
Consequently, when the load changes rampwise by 5%/min, the control error in steam temperature decreases by about 1/3 as compared with the conventional control method. In addition, when the load changes randomwise, the almost same control performance is obtained. The experiment in actual plant is expected.
