Ultra-supercritical Power Unit Steam Temperature Control Based on Model Predictive Control

摘要

The steam temperature control is important to Ultra-supercritical (USC) unit for safe and efficient operation under load tracking. In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC) method is introduced for reheated steam temperature control of USC unit. Two inputs (i.e. damper, spray attemperator) are employed to control two outputs (i.e. primary reheater outlet temperature and finish reheater outlet temperature). Step response models of the reheater temperature are achieved using the two inputs by two outputs model. In simulation, the reheated steam temperature can be controlled around the setpoint closely in load tracking. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
