Use of Synergetic Synthesis Method to Improve the Quality of Steam Generator Control at Thermal Power Facilities

The paper proposes a method of applying the method of synergetic synthesis to improve the quality of control of steam generators in thermal power systems. The disadvantages of traditional linear control methods, which do not take into account nonlinear interactions and introduce properties of modern steam generators, are discussed. The authors note the need to develop microprocessor-based automated control systems to improve the reliability and efficiency of thermal systems under peak conditions and emergency situations. The proposed control methods include two-channel coordinated control, which allows simultaneous control of turbine mechanical power and synchronous generator excitation. Simulation results using MATLAB/ Simulink show that the synergistic control methods provide higher stability, smaller fluctuations and adaptation to instability compared to conservative methods.
