Power plant performance and reliability is highly influenced by coal mills that grind, dry, and
transport coal to the furnace. This paper presents a review of the current state of technology …

This paper is the first of two dealing with the analysis and design of a class of complex
control systems. This part deals with fuzzy modelling and identification. The second paper is …

This paper presents and compares model-based and data-driven fault detection approaches
for coal mill systems. The first approach detects faults with an optimal unknown input …

Coal mills are bottleneck in coal–fired power generation process due to difficulty in
developing efficient controls and faults occurring inside the mills. In this paper, a dynamic …

In this paper an observer-based method for detecting faults and estimating moisture content
in the coal in coal mills is presented. Handling of faults and operation under special …

The paper presents development and validation of a coal mill model to be used for improved
mill control, which may lead to a better load following capability of power plants fired by …

A nonlinear dynamic model considering the effect of heat transfer on outlet pulverized coal
mass flow is established based on the principles of conservation laws. Raw coal moisture …

The high-precision model of coal mills can enable the accurate estimation of significant
parameters that cannot be measured inside, as well as the necessary foundation for the …

The most essential need for today's human life apart from food, air and water is electricity.
Our life gets stuck if there is a cut-off for a few hours. The Electricity is produced in various …

Over the last decade, there has been considerable change in the electric power generation
industry. Larger, faster plants have been constructed and old plants have been forced to …
