The secondary SILO goals were
■ To keep loss of ignition (LOI) below 5%
■ To keep super heat (SH) temperature at 540
◦
C
■ To keep flue gas temperature below 140
◦
C (flue gas desulphurization process
requirement)
SILO optimized nine output signals: CO emission (left and right side), NO

emission (left and right side), estimated SH temperature (left and right side), flue
gas temperature (left and right side), and LOI signal. Six disturbance signals were
chosen from the set of all process signals: unit load, coal calorific value, and status
of each of four coal mills. The control vector consisted of 11 signals: O
