Improved PA fan control in presence of noisy measurements

Abstract

The conventional way of dealing with noisy plant monitoring data in control loops is to introduce filtering which results in delays and consequent limitation of the control performance. Techniques such as Kalman filtering can avoid these delays and permit much faster and more accurate control with a minimum of actuator movement. The benefits achieved by applying this technique to the mill primary air control loops on Unit 2 at the Ratcliffe coal fired power plant are demonstrated. Moreover, because the plant dynamics are simple, the equations involved are very simple.
