Tailor-made small simulator for a drum boiler control based on linear techniques

A computational thinking under simulated environment with amendable properties is promoted. It is exemplified on a real drum boiler multi-loop linear control. The model is based on the boiler-turbine plant P16/G16, which is oil-fired and the rated power is 160 MW, at the Sydvenska Kraft AB Plant in Malmö, Sweden. A proficient symbolic and numerical combination points out a fast and very efficient automatic engineering calculation. This contribution aims at tailor-made small simulators on Matlab for those industrial processes which are linked by heat energy. A first application at drum boiler with linear control meets a useful know-how to guide thoughts on how to translate physical fundamentals to Matlab codes for other industrial cases. Some comments relating to industrial practice are offered in this context.
