Model Predictive Control Approach for Chamber Pressure in a Coke Furnace

Abstract

In a coke furnace the dynamic relationship between the input and output device is complicated. Since the performance is closely related to the control used and also improved control alternatives are necessary. The control target is to maintain the chamber pressure of coke furnace with in a set range while rejecting the effect of disturbances. This paper proposes a Model predictive controller design using MPC algorithm. The details of the proposed MPC are first described and tested on the process model of the SISO system with FOPDT model Simulation results shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
