DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIMAL ALGORITHM FOR CONTROLLING THE STEAM GENERATION PROCESS

Abstract

In this work, an algorithm for optimal control of a steam boiler is developed to minimize fuel consumption per unit of steam generated and given to consumers, when operating in a certain mode and control restrictions. Taking into account the nature of the steam generation process, where the control of some technological parameters and the output of control actions on the object is performed discretely, the simplex method was chosen as a mathematical tool for the optimal control algorithm.
