Modelling and Controller Design for Temperature Control of Power Plant Heat Exchanger

Project Code :TEMACS54

Objective

The main objective of this project is produce sustain wide range of temperature and pressure.

Abstract

Power Plant Heat exchanger is widely used in chemical and petroleum plants because it can sustain wide range of temperature and pressure. Heat exchanger is a high nonlinearity and poor dynamics plant; therefore it is complex to model and difficult to control its dynamics. 

In this paper a Second Order Plus Dead Time (SOPDT model) that is derived from the response of heat exchanger is proposed. 

While the controllers are consisted of Fuzzy Proportional Derivative (FPD) controller and Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller and applied to the model and their responses are compared with the existing PID controller. For the controller, the FPD control gives a slight enhancement based on SOPDT model. Therefore, FPD controller is more suitable than PID controller.
