Abstract

See full text

A technique of controlling a steam generating boiler system having multiple superheater sections includes determining multiple control signals to control a temperature of output steam to a turbine. The technique uses a first control block to determine an offset value based on multiple input temperatures and a dynamic matrix control (DMC) block to determine input steam control signals based on an output temperature and an output temperature setpoint. The technique modifies one of the input steam control signals based on the offset value. The modified input steam control signal and the unmodified input steam control signal are provided to respective field devices to control the input temperatures and, as a result, the output temperature.
