Boiler Performance Optimization Using Fuzzy Logic Controller
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers an approach to design a controller used for the air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) optimization in the combustion process of a power plant boiler. The optimization of the AFR will reduce the excess air level and improve the combustion efficiency in the boiler system. The combustion improvement indicates boiler operating cost savings. The fuzzy logic controller, which is a method of a rule-based decision making based on human knowledge, was developed for the combustion process and its performance and effectiveness were then compared with the classical PI controller. Simulation results demonstrate how the designed fuzzy logic controller performs well to the optimization of the AFR in the combustion process and applying the controller to the combustion process will result in significant operating annual cost savings in the boiler operation.

Control of Drum Boiler Dynamics via an Optimized Fuzzy Controller
Drum Boilers are an important component of many modern industrial facilities. Generally, the simulation of tailormade Drum Boilers starts up at each steady-state condition inside each operation region. The problem of such systems is the control of parameters, as level and pressure, around a reference value. The design of control algorithms can be accomplished using intelligent techniques such a...

This paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ISE) as a performance criteria. In this paper, an improved PSO using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...

متن کاملApplication of hybrid fuzzy logic proportional plus conventional integral-derivative controller to combustion control of stoker-fired boilers
Combustion control of an industrial stoker-"red boiler is to provide a continuous supply of steam at the desired condition of pressure. Because no e$cient mathematical model of the stoker-"red boiler is available, it would be very hard to design its controller by using any traditional model-based method. Therefore, the most widely used controller for the boiler system is a conventional PID-type...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of a Fuzzy Supervisory Controller for an Industrial Boiler
In this paper we compare and discuss the performance of a boiler evaporator system when the system is controlled by a traditional PID-type strategy and when the system is enhanced by using fuzzy logic blocks to provide set-points for the system. The strategy used in fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) is called fuzzy supervisory control and it generates set-points for the conventional controllers. T...
