1.5 Outline <strong>of</strong> the Thesis<br />

This thesis is <strong>based</strong> on a collection <strong>of</strong> publications. The thesis is divided into two parts.<br />

The first part is an introduction and summary <strong>of</strong> the contributions, and the second part<br />

presents the related publications. The organisation is as follows:<br />

Part 1: Chapter 2 presents a description <strong>of</strong> the marine boiler plant together with control<br />

challenges here<strong>of</strong>, and a few specific details <strong>of</strong> the test boiler are given. Chapter 3<br />

gives a summary <strong>of</strong> the contributions. In Chapter 4, conclusions and perspectives are<br />

presented.<br />

Part 2: In this part the eight publications made during the project are presented in the<br />

following order:<br />
