A boiler-turbine unit is a typical multivariable industrial control system in power plant. The boiler is so manufactured that the drum level must be in the specified range.</strong><strong> Output constraints are an important challenge in boiler drum systems to have safety and efficient operation. </strong><strong>In this paper, the problem of state space model predictive control for </strong><strong>a constrained nonlinear boiler </strong><strong>drum systems is investigated</strong><strong>. Predictive control is a highly efficient and strong</strong><strong> method</strong><strong>since its control performance has been reported to be best among other conventional techniques to control the multivariable dynamical plants with various inputs and outputs constraints. </strong><strong>Simulation results demonstrate the satisfactory performance and effectiveness of this method and</strong> <strong>compatibility with practical implementation in boiler.</strong> <strong> </strong> https://mjee.modares.ac.ir/article_12938_5de6f7a36339ef5bedc3dc8741a1e222.pdf
