Superheated steam temperature (SST) is one of the most critical parameters for the process safety, overall efficiency and pollution reduction of coal-fired power plants. However, SST control is challenging due to various disturbances and model uncertainties, especially in the face of the growing penetration of intermittent renewable energy into the power grid. To this end, a cascaded Disturbance Observer-PI (DOB-PI) control strategy is proposed to enhance control performance. The observer design and parameter tuning are carried out through mechanism analysis on the proposed structure. Furthermore, a robust loop shaping method is introduced as a hard constraint to balance the control performance and robustness. The controller parameters are optimized based on the multi-objective artificial bee colony optimization (MOABC) algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed cascaded DOB-PI control strategy can significantly improve the disturbance rejection performance of both the inner- and outer-loops of the SST control system. This paper indicates promising prospects for the proposed method in future applications.

Superheated steam temperature (SST) is a significant index for a coal-fired power plant. Its control is becoming more and more challenging for the reason that the control requirements are stricter and the load command changes extensively and frequently. To deal with the aforementioned challenges, previously the cascade control strategy was usually applied to the control of SST. However, its structure and tuning procedure are complex. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a single-loop control strategy for SST based on a hybrid active disturbance rejection control (ADRC). The stability and ability to reject the secondary disturbance are analyzed theoretically in order to perfect the theory of the hybrid ADRC. Then a tuning procedure is summarized for the hybrid ADRC by analyzing the influences of all parameters on control performance. Using the proposed tuning method, a simulation is carried out illustrating that the hybrid ADRC is able to improve the dynamic performance of SST with good robustness. Eventually, the hybrid ADRC is applied to the SST system of a power plant simulator. Experimental results indicate that the single-loop control strategy based on the hybrid ADRC has better control performance and simpler structure than cascade control strategies. The successful application of the proposed hybrid ADRC shows its promising prospect of field tests in future power industry with the increasing demand on integrating more renewables into the grid.

The superheated steam temperature object of thermal power plant has the characteristics of time lag, inertia and time-varying parameters. The control quality of the conventional proportional integral derivate controller with fixed parameters will decrease after the object characteristics change. The generalized predictive control strategy of superheated steam temperature based on neural network local multi-model switching can achieve the goal of designing sub-controllers for fixed models under several typical operating conditions. When the system operating conditions change, the effective switching strategy is timely and accurate. Switch to the most suitable controller. The paper proposes a new smooth switching method, which can effectively suppress the large disturbance phenomenon of the object when switching. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the control strategy.

Temperature of superheated steam in power generation units is essentially important for the safe and economic running of boilers and turbines. In this paper, a robust PID control strategy based on multiple models is proposed. Robust PID controllers associated with each model are designed with parameters tuned based on the H performance. For different operating conditions, the appropriate controller is selected by the given switching strategy. Simulations are done to prove the effectiveness of the control strategy.
