Abstract :
Preliminary results of a sliding mode controller retrofit for a thermal power plant are presented. The proposed sliding mode controller replaces the existing multi-loop PID controller on the water/steam side of the thermal power plant. The choice of the sliding mode control scheme is appropriate as it embodies an inherent robustness to modeling errors and parameter variations. The sliding mode controller is validated by simulations using a 21st order thermal power plant model
