Chaotic Phenomena in Incineration Plants and Periodic Control

Abstract

Chaotic behaviors are observed in stoker-type incineration plants when conventional control strategies with relay feedback are applied. In this paper, the chaotic phenomena are analyzed using the mathematical models of the plant and feeder which are obtained from the identification of plant data. After that a periodic control, which is proposed by the author and does not generate the chaotic phenomena, is compared with the conventional control.
