    Abstract

    Boiler combustion systems represent highly nonlinear systems with associated lags and delays which depend on operating point. Such systems represent a significant challenge to the control engineer. In this paper, we present a model typical of a medium-size industrial boiler, which highlights the difficulties associated with such systems. As a starting point for nonlinear control design, we demonstrate how a neural network may be used to obtain a concise functional description of the system, initially for fixed operating points and then for variation over the full range of operation.
