Abstract

A quadratic performance index with a prescribed degree of stability is used to select the desired closed loop poles of a boiler plant in a 150 MW power station. Using only the available output variables for feedback. Fortran computer programs are written to design a dynamic compensator of minimum order p to achieve placement of the desired closed loop poles. The plant and the dynamic output feedback controller are simulated on a CDC Cyber 170-835 digital computer. The performance of the boiler plant controlled by the dynamic compensator is compared to performances under observer-based and state feedback controllers
