Based on MATLAB software

a control strategy of RBF neural network identifying PID(RBFPID) has been designed

and adopting OPC communication mode to realize the data exchange between MATLAB and the emulation supporting software APROS of thermal power units

thereby

the developed emulation and training system of units can be used to make the control algorithms designed in MATLAB to directly participate into process control

so as to verify the practicality of control strategy RBFPID.Results of verification show that the control effectiveness of control strategy RBFPID is substantially superior to control strategy of conventional PID plus feed forward

it is convenient to debug

boasting good robustness

and can be more suitable to operation condition variation of unit.
