| Abstract |
An attemperator is a part of the 4-stage superheater in the boiler system of the thermal power plant. The attemperator receives the over-heated steam and makes the steam with proper temperature by adjusting the control valve of the cold steam. In this paper, the attemperator is modeled considering physical point of view and the linearized model is derived for the control purpose. To overcome the integral windup phenomenon due to the opening limitation of the control valve, an anti-windup PI controller is proposed to the attemperator and compared with the PI controller operated in the thermal power plant in view of control performance. |
