摘要:AbstractIn this article, a nonlinear modeling approach to describe the enthalpy dynamics between the inlet of the economizer and the outlet of the evaporator inside a once-through boiler is presented. Furthermore, a combined control and estimation approach based on an LQG controller consisting of an LQ regulator and an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is introduced. The EKF is thereby extended by a state in order to estimate the supplied heat, which constitutes a disturbance to the process. This can be due to fouling or varying heat values of the fuel during operation.
