Modeling and Control of Sludge Pyrolysis in a Fluidized Bed Reactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is concerns with the study of modeling and control of sludge pyrolysis in a fluidized bed reactor. Firstly, a mathematical model is established for sludge pyrolysis in a fluidized bed furnace, mass balance and energy equations are established. Then, the model is linearized at the steady-state point, two linear models are derived: state space model and transfer function model. The transfer function model is used in internal model control (IMC), where the filter parameter is selected and discussed. The state space model is applied in model predictive control (MPC), where controller parameters of prediction horizon length and control horizon length are discussed.
