Description
Summary:In this paper, a data-driven superheating control strategy is developed for organic Rankine cycle (ORC) processes. Due to non-Gaussian stochastic disturbances imposed on heat sources, the quantized minimum error entropy (QMEE) is adopted to construct the performance index of superheating control systems. Furthermore, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is applied to obtain optimal control law by minimizing the performance index. The implementation procedures of the presented superheating control system in an ORC-based waste heat recovery process are presented. The simulation results testify the effectiveness of the presented control algorithm.
