Dynamic Characteristics of the waste incinerators are very complex, and municipal solid waste has nearly random property because different chemical compositions of the waste have different unit weight calories. These features make it difficult to operate the waste incinerators with a good control performance. In practice, most of waste incinerators have been operated by open loop controls which are strongly depended on operator's expertism. In this paper, dynamic characteristics of a municipal solid waste incinerlator with waste heat recovery system are investigated by qualitative analysis. The incinerator system has been found to have time-delay property, several nonlinearities and a dynamic interaction effect between dynamic behaviors of the first combustion chamber and the second combustion chamber. Based upon the dynamic characteristics of the incinerator system, several control algorithms, such as conventional PID control, adaptive control, learning control are suggested, which could guide a successful implementation of automatic close loop control of the system
