Abstract :
This paper presents a closed-loop combustion control algorithm for a coal-fired boiler using the recently developed output distribution control theory. The furnace temperature distribution (FTD) is regarded as the controlled variable, which demonstrates the stability, economy and reliability of combustion process. Following the FTD obtained by Fluent simulation software, the equivalent B-spline FTD model is then established. Consequently, the control strategy is provided so as to ensure the output FTD will follow the desired distribution. The simulation study shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
