Abstract
An exemplary method is disclosed for controlling on-line the steam output of a waste incineration plant that is fed with waste of varying composition. Process or system quantities (u, u, x, x, w) can be measured repeatedly, at different times during operation of the plant, and a relation with linear parameters (θ) as coefficients of non-linear expressions (φ) of the process quantities can be established by evaluating the measurements. From this relation, an optimal waste feed rate to obtain a desired steam output ({dot over (M)}) can be determined and applied to a waste feed actuator of the waste incineration plant.
