An Intelligent Model Based Level Control of Boiler Drum

An Intelligent model is developed to control the water level in Boiler Drum. There are three different types of boiler such as Single element boiler drum level control, two element boiler drum level control and three element boiler drum level control. The parameters of boiler drum level control system are determined using PID control tuning methods such as Ziegler-Nichols method, Tyreus-Luyben method and Internal Model Control (IMC), in which IMC surpasses the performance of the conventional controller. Keywords—Boiler Drum Level control, PID tuning, IMC, Feed forward, MATLAB.
