Control Strategies for Fuel Processors

Few examples of control strategies for fuel processors have been published in the open literature. 

Gorgiin et al. presented the developments of observers for fuel processing reactors such as a partial oxidation reformer, tvater-gas shift and preferential oxidation cleanup reactors [454]. Simplified models tvere used for the observer design. The principle of an observer-based control strategy is to run a simplified reactor model in the controller sofiware. Model parameters are then permanently adopted by measurements during the control process. For each reaction, vhich vas considered in one of the reactors, one measurement vas used to adopt the models. With catalytic partial oxidation and preferential oxidation the reactor temperature and one species
