A comprehensive linear model predictive control framework for small-scale furnaces is introduced. Its formulation allows to meet restrictive legal emission regulations by utilizing a carbon monoxide formation model and provides a simple model-based approach to handle fuel switches efficiently. Experimental results confirm emission limiting behavior and robustness in the presence of fuel switches as well as changes of the operating point. Proposed methods stand out by their simplicity allowing for its use even in small and cost-driven applications. This paper covers topics published in (Böhler, 2020b) and extends them with additional measurement results and sugges-tions for a control redesign from scratch.
