Abstract

An adaptive optimal control method using a process control computer was developed for boiler steam temperature control for thermal power plants. A process dynamics model, which describes the dynamic plant behavior, is used in the calculations for adaptive optimal control. The model employed is a multi-input and output ARMA (autoregressive moving average) with parameters identified on-line by the Kalman filter method.

Steam temperature prediction control for thermal power plant

Journal Article Sato, Y; Ioka, M; Matsumoto, H; ... - IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)

An advanced control method using a microprocessor is developed for boiler steam temperature control of thermal power plants. A process dynamics model with the Kalman filter in the controller is presented which describes the dynamic plant behavior. Using the model, future changes in steam temperature are predicted and the fuel flow rate compensated accordin

Robust filtering and prediction for systems with embedded finite-state Markov-Chain dynamics

Thesis/Dissertation Pate, E

This research developed new methodologies for the design of robust near-optimal filters/predictors for a class of system models that exhibit embedded finite-state Markov-chain dynamics. These methodologies are developed through the concepts and methods of stochastic model building (including time-series analysis), game theory, decision theory, and filtering/prediction for linear dynamic systems. The methodology is based on the relationship between the robustness of a class of time-series models and quantization which is applied to the time series as part of the model identification process. This relationship is exploited by utilizing the concept of an equivalence, through invariance of spectra, between the classmore »« less
Statistical approach to the optimal control of a thermal power plant

Journal Article Nakamura, H; Hirano, T; Akaike, H - Electr. Eng. Jpn. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

A method of optimal analog-digital plant control based on an autoregressive model is proposed. Advantages of the proposed ADC (analog-digital coordinated control) scheme over the APC (automatic plant controller) scheme are demonstrated by the simulation test of the once-through boiler. The proposed method is applicable to boilers in general and it would be useful in practice to change gain matrix and other control constants according to the variation of operating state or load level of the thermal plant. It was concluded that the proposed control system makes it possible to improve the load follow-up capability.

Optimal control of thermal power plants

Conference Nakamura, H; Uchida, M; Toyota, Y; ...

Application of optimal control system to thermal power plants is introduced. The suggested system consists of the conventional PID controllers and the control computer. It has been successfully applied to five supercritical power plants (Total output 2,700 MW) since 1978. In the system, system identification or state space representation of the plant is performed based on the AR (Autoregressive) model describing the system dynamics. The optimal controller is designed by the orthodox Dynamic Programming procedure under a quadratic criterion function. In the paper, the procedure of the controller design and the control performance of the system are described with somemore »« less
Adaptive estimation of the prompt-neutron decay constant using autoregressive moving average modeling

Journal Article Zavaljevski, N; Kostic, L; Pesic, M; ... - Nuclear Science and Engineering

An autoregressive moving average model of neutron fluctuations with large measurement noise is developed from the Langevin stochastic equations with the noise equivalent source in the form of a vector Wiener process. The neutron field/detector interaction is explicitly treated, and delayed neutrons are included.d The Kalman filter with nonzero covariance between input and output noise is applied in the derivations to reduce the state-space equations to the input-output form. Theoretical developments are verified using time series data from the prompt-neutron decay constant measurements at the zero-power reactor RB in Vinca. Model parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood off-line algorithmmore »« less
