Application of model predictive control to advanced combustion control

Abstract The objective of the application of model-based predictive control technology for boiler control is to enable tight dynamical coordination of selected controlled variables, particularly the coordination of air and fuel flows during transients. It is shown that this approach can be used in connection with excess air optimization to increase boiler efficiency while considerably reducing the production of NO x .
