Abstract

Ultra-supercritical (USC) unit is more and more popular these years for its advantages. In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC) method is introduced for coordinated control of USC unit running in fixed pressure mode. Three inputs (i.e. valve opening, coal flow and feedwater flow) are employed to control three outputs (i.e. load, main steam temperature and main steam pressure). Piecewise models of the USC unit are obtained using the three inputs and the three outputs. In simulation, the output power follows load demand quickly and main steam temperature can be controlled around the setpoint closely in load tracking control. The simulation results show the effeteness of the proposed methods.
