An innovative combustion controller is developed with an objective to maintain the steam pressure inlet to the turbine in a thermal power plant at a predetermined value by modulating proper air/fuel controller under varying load conditions. An energy balance model based fuzzy controller is designed to maintain proper fuel flow throughout the combustion cycle. The fuel flow requirement with respect to load at any instant is derived from energy balance model is fed to fuzzy controller to regulate the fuel flow to the boiler. At the same time air flow requirement with respect to load at any instant is derived from air/load characteristics. A lab scale experimental setup was fabricated and studies were carried out using conventional PID and the proposed energy balance model based fuzzy controller. Data was obtained from the thermal power plants to validate the controller's performance. The advantages of the proposed scheme over the conventional controller are highlighted.

“…In [14], a designed model of the evaporator and separator in an OTEC plant using the Uehara cycle is constructed to realize liquid level control. In [15], a secondary power loop is introduced to reuse the wasted heat of the main power cycle and the effectiveness of this technique is demonstrated. In a nuclear power plant, an alternative structure is discussed for replacing surface seawater with condenser effluent in [16].…”

Boundary control strategy is developed to analyze the vibration problem of the offshore ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) system as well as to constrain the bottom tension and top motion. To provide an accurate dynamic behavior for the OTEC system, this distributed parameter system is modeled and formulated with a governing equation and boundary conditions (PDE-ODEs model). Two robust adaptive boundary controllers are designed and disposed at the endpoints of the system, and the stability of the controlled system under unknown disturbances is achieved. After selecting the relevant parameters appropriately, the offset of the offshore OTEC system can be suppressed to equilibrium position. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control is illustrated by simulation.
