The application of input constrained controls on a power plant model

Input saturation is a nonlinear constraint that is widely encountered in physical systems. The success of dealing with input saturation may increase safety level of the system's operation and its economic benefits as well. This paper presents the applicatons of some input constrained controls in the literatures to a power plant model. Especially, we carry out the design and analysis of the feedback control using model predictive control (MPC) and both continuous and discrete time anti-windup schemes. The simulation results are presented and the implications on the implementation and its related computation is discussed.
