Abstract
In this paper, neural networks are developed for the modeling and control of the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from coal-fired boilers. Both the neural network NOx simulation model and the neural network controller are trained with real plant data. Multiple-state neurons are used in the neural network controller to restrict the range of the controller. A modified back propagation algorithm is used in the network training. The results indicate that the feedforward neural networks can be used as a real-time advisor for the plant operator to determine the optimum settings for lower NOx emissions
