The structure and parameters optimization of ADRC for steam generator water level

It is worse that steam generator is controlled by PID which is non-minimum system with oscillation. ADRC achieves excellent control performance using nonlinear control law, but it isn´t necessarily optimal when adopting standard ADRC structure and NLSEF. In this paper, we optimize the standard ADRC, the simplified ADRC without TD, the improved ADRC with NLSEF using mtfal and zzxfal based on GA. The simulation and performance analysis indicate that we should choose ADRC without TD, with NLSEF using mtfal for SG water level control.
