Generation, Optimization and Control of Electric Power in Sugar Mill

The prime objective of a sugar mill is to produce sugar crystals. It is always desirable to yield maximum quantity of rich quality sugar. In this paper, another aspect of sugar mill has been taken up as a case study and that is generation of electric power out of the waste of crushing mill. Based on an industrial data taken from literature, GA optimization technique is adopted in order to maximize the value of generated electric power. Finally control systems based on three different techniques have been designed to maintain the value of power generated, and their control performance is compared. For simulations, MATLAB software has been used.
