While constructing the controller in the new coordinates, a part of the controller is used to cancel nonlinearities, thus resulting in a linear system in the new coordinates. Simulation results in a single reheat thermal system are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear control scheme. %K Lie-derivatives %K Reheat Turbine %K Performance %K Linear Quadratic Riccati-principal index %K Feedback Linearization %U http://www.iaesjournal.com/online/index.php/IJECE/article/view/559
