Control of Nonlinear Constrained Ultra-Supercritical Boiler-Turbine Units Using Offset-Free Output-Feedback Stable MPC

摘要

It is extremely challenging to control ultra-supercritical boiler-turbine unit on account of its nonlinearity, coupling among multi-variables, hard input constraints, and unknown disturbances. An offset-free output-feedback stable model predictive control (MPC) (OFOF-SMPC) for nonlinear constrained ultra-supercritical boiler-turbine units is investigated. It is shown that the OFOF-SMPC is composed of a disturbance and state observer, a steady-state target calculator as well as a stable MPC, which can remove unknown disturbances from output channels and ensure the stability of the closed-loop system with input constraints. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
