Design Of A Minimum Order Dynamic Pole Placement Controller For A Boiler

First a quadratic performance index with a prescribed degree of s tability is used to select the desired closed loop poles of a boiler plant of 150 MW power station. Using only the available output v ariables for feedback, Fortran computer programs are written to design a dynamic compensator of minimum order p to achieve placement of the desired closed loop poles. plant and the dynamic output feedback controller are simulated on a CDC Cyber 170-835 digital computer. The performance of the b oiler. plant controlled by the dynamic compensator is compared to performances under observer-based and state feedback controllers.
