[0002] The reheat steam temperature of a thermal power unit is an important parameter that directly affects the thermal efficiency of the unit. Improving the accuracy of automatic control of reheat steam temperature is an important means to improve the economy of the unit. The reheat steam temperature control object is a process with large inertia, large delay, and strong nonlinearity.

The current adjustment means are difficult to play a direct role, so the reheat steam temperature damper control system faces problems such as difficulty in automatic input and poor adjustment effect.

[0023] Furthermore, the controller input module adopts the formula: r2=r-z1-z2, where r is the set value of the reheater outlet steam temperature.

[0024] Furthermore, the feedforward control signal formula adopted by the feedforward signal module is: u=v1+v2, wherein v1 is the output of the neural network model 1, and v2 is the controller output.
