Abstract

A problem of robust controller design for control of a boiler plant is solved using an H ∞ loop-shaping method with constraints imposed on regional pole placement of transfer functions of the closed-loop system, and linear matrix inequalities tools. Requirements to the closed-loop system are formulated both in the form of frequency constraints on singular values of transfer function of the open-loop system, and in the form of pole placement constraints for the transfer function of the closed-loop system as a given region on the complex plane. A reduction of the full-order H ∞-controller obtained in the design procedure is performed.
