Abstract
An expert rule-based control system is presented which has been applied to a 1 MW coal-fired chain-grate stoker. The goal of the control scheme is to achieve efficient carbon burnout while meeting a specified load demand schedule and simultaneously achieving statutory emissions levels in the face of random disturbances to the feed and quality of both the coal and the air supply.
