Abstract :
A rule-based control system for coal combustion on a chain-grate stoker is presented. The objectives of the controller were to permit, automatically, continuous running of the process at different load levels while achieving high efficiency and maintaining permitted emissions levels. Its achievement of these goals has been demonstrated in plant trials on a 1 MW stoker and test results are presented
