Abstract :
In this paper, a control oriented nonlinear model is developed for an autothermal reformer (ATR) based fuel process system. By trajectory planning for one of the system states, a coordinating control algorithm is proposed for the three input flow rates to track/regulate the temperature and hydrogen production of the ATR. Stability analysis is provided to show a local uniformly ultimately bounded tracking result.
