Main steam temperature control in thermal power plant has been a popular research subject for the past 10 years. The complexity of main steam temperature behavior which depends on multiple variables makes it one of the most challenging variables to control in thermal power plant. Furthermore, the successful control of main steam temperature ensures stable plant operation. Several studies found that excessive main steam temperature resulted overheating of boiler tubes and low main steam temperature reduce the plant heat rate and causes disturbance in other parameters. Most of the studies agrees that main steam temperature should be controlled within ±5 Deg C. Major factors that influenced the main steam temperature are load demand, main steam flow and combustion air flow. Most of the proposed solution embedded to the existing cascade PID control in order not to disturb the plant control too much. Neural network controls remains to be one of the most popular algorithm used to control main steam temperature to replace ever reliable but not so intelligent conventional PID control. Self-learning nature of neural network mean the load on the control engineer re-tuning work will be reduced. However the challenges remain for the researchers to prove that the algorithm can be practically implemented in industrial boiler control.

The large inertia and long delay characteristics of main steam temperature control system in thermal power plants will reduce the system control performance. In order to improve the system control performance, a generalized predictive PID control for main steam temperature strategy based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. The performance index of incremental PID controller of main control loop and PD controller of auxiliary control loop based on generalized predictive control algorithm is established. An improved particle swarm optimization algorithm with better fitness and faster convergence speed is proposed for online parameters optimization of performance index. The optimal control value of PID controller and PD controller can be obtained. The simulation experiment compared with fuzzy PID and fuzzy neural network is carried out. Simulation results show that proposed control method has faster response speed, smaller overshoot and control error, better tracking performance, and reduces the lag effect of the control system.

Due to the boiler main-steam temperature system exists more serious characteristics,such as much capacitive,nonlinear,time-varying and lag, so adopt cascade control strategy. This paper design a control algorithm which is based on BP neural network, it can accelerate the regulating time, and combined with the conventional PID controller, constitute the BP neural network - PID cascade control strategy. This control strategy not only contain the BP neural network control in real time system strong anti-interference ability characteristic, but also fully utilize the PID controller response speed characteristic. The simulation results show that based on the BP neural network - PID series control boiler main-steam temperature system can achieve satisfactory control effect.

Large-scale thermal power units in the main steam temperature as the controlled object with a large delay, large inertia, nonlinear and time-varying characteristics, leads to its control difficult, and make traditional PID control method is difficult to achieved good. Fuzzy systems articulate knowledge, reasoning similar to the human mind the advantages of fuzzy PID control strategy is proposed and used as a powerful mathematical ability of fuzzy PID control system simulation, the result indicate the fuzzy PID algorithm has the ability of fast, immunity, and robust.
