“…The literature on boilers and boiler control is extensive. In rather recent papers, pole placement control was applied to a six order boiler model in Anakwa and Swamy (1988) while General Predictive Control (GPC) was applied in Hogg and El-Rabaie (1991) in a coal fire boiler, in Rossiter et al (1991) for a boiler in a power station and in Xu et al (2005) in a cascade control topology for drum level control with identified CARIMA models. In Dimeo and Lee (1995), genetic algorithms are used to tune a PI controllers with extra proportional gains for decoupling for a boiler-turbine plant.…”
