An Adaptive Dynamic Matrix Control of a Boiler-Turbine System Using Fuzzy Inference

This paper proposes an adaptive dynamic matrix control (DMC) using fuzzy inference and its application to boiler-turbine system. In a conventional DMC, object system is described as a step response model (SRM). However, a nonlinear system is not effectively described as a single SRM. In this paper, nine SRMs at various operating points are represented as fuzzy inference rules. On-line fuzzy inference is performed at every sampling step to find the suitable SRM. Therefore, the proposed adaptive DMC can consider the nonlinearity of boiler-turbine system. The simulation results show satisfactory result with wide range operation of boiler-turbine system.
