Publication Date:  2012-02-16

Inventors:  Beveridge, Robert A.; Whalen, JR., Richard J.

A technique of controlling a steam generating boiler system using dynamic matrix control includes preventing saturated steam from entering a superheater section. A dynamic matrix control block uses a rate of change of a disturbance variable, a current output steam temperature, and an output steam setpoint as inputs to generate a control signal. A prevention block modifies the control signal based on a saturatec temperature and an intermediate steam temperature. In some embodiments, the control ...

Inventors:  Beveridge, Robert A.; Whalen, JR., Richard J.

A technique of controlling a steam generating boiler system includes using a rate of change of disturbance variables to control operation of a portion of the boiler system, and in particular, to control a temperature of output steam to a turbine. The technique uses a primary dynamic matrix control (DMC) block to control a field device that, at least in part, affects the output steam temperature. The primary DMC block uses the rate of change of a disturbance variable, a current output steam ...
