Finite time control of a boiler-turbine system

Feedback stabilization of boiler-turbine system is discussed by using finite time control technique. First, boiler-turbine system is state feedback linearized. Then, by virtue of finite time control technique, series controllers and parallel controllers are designed respectively to stabilize boiler-turbine system. The closed-loop system exhibits faster convergence, better robustness and disturbance rejection properties. Simulations are employed to verify the proposed method.
