Active control of oscillations in a Rijke tube-like flat flame configurations

• The use of low NOx premixed surface burners with a large modulation range in modern central heating systemsoften to noise problems. In order to make any further advance in the development of these systems the noise problemhas to be solved. Therefore, the possibility of suppression (and stabilization) of these instabilities is in investigatedusing active model-based control strategies. A model for the condensing gas-fired boiler is derived first. based on anacoustic network approach. Special attention is paid to the flame dynamics. Second, a H1 controller is synthesized,where also modelling uncertainties are taken into account. In the end the performance and the robustness of thecontroller is validated during experiments.
