The superheater in the thermal power plant makes the wet steam into the dry steam with high temperature and high pressure by using the boiler heat. The dry steam pressure rotates the turbine-generator system. The efficiency and life time of the boiler heavily depends on the steam temperature regulation. The steam temperature can be deviated from the reference by the MW demand of the power plant. It is therefore required that the PI(proportional-integral) controller should be robust against the disturbance such as the MW demand. In this paper, the PI controller with the integral state predictor is proposed and applied to regulate the steam temperature of the superheater, and it is compared with the conventional PI controller operated in the thermal power plant in view of control performance.
