Many control configuration schemes are used to accomplish a boiler following control (BFC) task. Yet the choice of the best scheme for this task is still an open problem. A way to solve this problem with the aid of optimization is presented. The optimization results were carried out on a drum type boiler and improved significantly the MW response of the boiler. Two main conclusions are derived from this study: (1) the optimal controller settings differ fundamentally from those used in the plant; (2) the traditional pressure error scheme with a feedforward path from the turbine demand is the preferred BFC scheme for oil fired units.
