Trajectory tracking of boiler-turbine

This paper presents the design of a controller for trajectory tracking in a boiler-turbine system. It is a MIMO system with state variables strongly coupled. The proposed controller is simple and based on concepts easy to understand. Its design consists in representing the model while using numerical methods, and then the control actions are computed through the linear algebra techniques to accomplish the target tracking. The advantage of this method is that, the condition for the tracking error tends to zero and the calculation of control actions, are obtained by solving a system of linear equations. Besides, the method has the ability to follow trajectories for two outputs simultaneously.
