Abstract

Biomass combustion is one of the most versatile and widespread heat sources for residential usage in the world. Nowadays many new combustion devices in developed countries are controlled automatically. The control algorithm used in these devices is crucial in achieving optimal service economy with minimal environmental impact. This paper deals with two ways to implement proper control algorithms for small- and medium-scale boilers. The first method applies modern methods of controller development, while the second adapts tested algorithms from full-scale boilers. The algorithms are implemented and tested on experimental devices based on widely available products.
