Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a novel state space model for the drum boilers with natural recirculation. The states of this model are the total mass and energy inventories. The main advantage of the model is that it has an affine structure in control variables. A passivity based inventory controller is developed, which ensures the asymptotic stability of the closed- loop boiler system. Numerical simulations show the performance and efficiency of this passivity based controller design technique.
