Abstract

This paper describes the application of a modern model based controller utility   to control the steam superheat temperature. The steam superheat temperature control is critical to the efficient operation of utility boiler steam turbines. Traditional controllers may cause a significant time delay when used in this application. A fuzzy Logic controller are designed and well tuned to control the steam temperature of the boiler.The results obtained demonstrated the  Fuzzy logic controller surpassing over the conventional methods.
