Abstract

Sliding pressure control is a well-known method of controlling supercritical power plants that improves energy efficiency and reduces pressure dynamic stresses. This paper presents a novel approach for developing a supercritical cleaner coal power plant’s sliding pressure control strategy. First, using Whale Optimizer, a nonlinear identified transfer matrix model was created (WO). By comparing simulations and errors, the WO clearly outperforms the GA and Grey-Wolf Optimizer (GWO) techniques on parameter identification. The model also includes a multivariable PI/PD controller for improved plant operation. Again, WO controller tuning outperformed GA and GWO in terms of pressure deviations, power deviations, rise time, and fuel usage. It is now argued that the WO is superior to other techniques in modeling and controlling system dynamics, energy efficiency, and cleaner operation.
