Abstract
In an industrial boiler system, multiloop (decentralized) proportional-integral (PI) control is used because of its implementational advantages. We show that such control schemes sacrifice robustness and performance of the overall system. In particular, under normal boiler operating conditions, we design a robust multivariable controller using H/sub /spl infin// loop-shaping techniques; for consideration in implementation, we then reduce this controller to a multivariable PI controller. Both the H/sub /spl infin// controller and its PI approximation are tested extensively in letdown the frequency domain as well as in the time domain, using a valve complex nonlinear simulation software; the results show that the designed controllers are superior in robustness and performance to the existing multiloop controller.
