 Override Control for Flow and Pressure in Compressor Stations and Gas Storages
 
 Natural gas has a high acceptance as a fuel with low
                                                                                                                                        environmental pollution. Therefore its use has increased in the
                                                                                                                                        last years and automatic operation of pipeline nets and stations
                                                                                                                                        for different tasks have to be devellopped.
 
 One very frequent task is the control of flow and pressure in
                                                                                                                                        an override function. Only one actuator is used to control these
                                                                                                                                        values by taking care, that neither value gets higher than a
                                                                                                                                        chosen setpoint.That means, only one setpoint can be reached,
                                                                                                                                        whereas the other value stays lower than its setpoint.
 
 Some improvements are presented for typical flow control loops
                                                                                                                                        and for the switch-over between the two control tasks assuring
                                                                                                                                        good dynamical properties for both control loops and the change
                                                                                                                                        between them.
 
 The different solutions are compared using system simulations.
                                                                                                                                        So the approach to find a suitable mathematical model has been

 Control Solutions for Steam Generators
 
 Steam Temperature Control at a Superheater by Injection of Feedwater
 
 Steam generators are used in a long industrial history and
                                                                                                                                        their control is done by standard solutions, that are dealt with
                                                                                                                                        in engineering science already numerously. Most of these papers
                                                                                                                                        were based however on analog electronic control. Using PLC, as
                                                                                                                                        done in most realizations nowadays, can cause some effects not
                                                                                                                                        yet described. So the control engineer has to look for the most
                                                                                                                                        suitable solution for PLC use in all the variations known. This
                                                                                                                                        is done here at the example of a steam temperature control.
 
 Furthermore can control be more sophisticated, because
                                                                                                                                        functions can be added easily with PLC use. Nonlinear effects can
                                                                                                                                        improve the control properties.
 
 Some PLC allow the use of fuzzy logic. Can this new approach
                                                                                                                                        bring about better solutions in this well explored area of
                                                                                                                                        superheater control? Some examinations show, that there is
                                                                                                                                        improvement over the linear control, but not over PID-control
                                                                                                                                        with nonlinear gain. This makes fuzzy solutions for this
                                                                                                                                        application unattractive, because fuzzy control involves a lot
                                                                                                                                        more effort in configuration and commissioning than classical
                                                                                                                                        control with some common sense nonlinear additions.
 
 Real improvement can be achieved with state feedback control
                                                                                                                                        with an observer. The paper presents a modification of that
                                                                                                                                        approach, suitable for use of nonlinear or fuzzy additions.
 
 The different solutions are compared using system simulations
                                                                                                                                        at different simplification levels. So the approach to find a
                                                                                                                                        suitable mathematical model has been also described.
