COMPARISON OF OPTIMAL CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR SUPERVISORY AND REGULATORY LEVEL

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the conditions for the equivalence between the supervisory level and regulatory level control strategies based on the same objective function are established. Both controllers use the same general objective function with constraints. It is shown that the supervisory controller modifies the control action of the fixed regulatory controller in such a way that the solution of general objective function with constraints is generated at the regulatory level. In order to demonstrate the theoretical results, the proposed controllers are applied to a power plant boiler simulator
