Constrained control of a once-through boiler with recirculation ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
There is an increasing need to operate power plants at low load for longer periods of time. When a once-through boiler operates at a sufficiently low load, recirculation is introduced, significantly altering the control structure. This paper illustrates the possibilities for using constrained control to obtain optimal load gradients in the recirculation mode. A model predictive controller is designed for a simulation model with good results. It is also shown how the feed water flow can be used as an extra control signal.

Effects of Flue Gas Internal Recirculation on NOx and SOx Emissions in a Co-Firing Boiler
Volumetric combustion has been developed to realize a high substitution ratio of biomass in co-firing boilers, which features an intensive flue gas internal recirculation inside furnace. However, the characteristics of NOx and SOx emissions in large-scale boilers with volumetric combustion were not fully clear. In this paper, an Aspen Plus model of volumetric combustion system was built up base...

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) dynamic matrix control (DMC) technique is applied to control steam temperatures in a large-scale ultrasupercritical once-through boiler–turbine system. Specifically, four output variables (i.e., outlet temperatures of platen superheater, finish superheater, primary reheater, and finish reheater) are controlled using four input variables (i.e., two spray valves, b...
متن کاملSulfur recirculation for increased electricity production in Waste-to-Energy plants.
Sulfur recirculation is a new technology for reducing boiler corrosion and dioxin formation. It was demonstrated in full-scale tests at a Waste to Energy plant in Göteborg (Sweden) during nearly two months of operation. Sulfur was recirculated as sulfuric acid from the flue gas cleaning back to the boiler, thus creating a sulfur loop. The new technology was evaluated by extensive measurement ca...
متن کاملResearch on Control Method for Intermediate Point Temperature of Supercritical Boiler Based on Active Disturbance Rejection Cascade Control
As the important signal of once-through boiler's water-fuel ratio control, intermediate point temperature of supercritical boiler plays a key role in the decision of steam and water’s boundary, the match of fuel and water, the control of main steam temperature. The condition of its control directly impacts the once-through boiler’s safety and economy running. For an uncertainty model, a good co...
متن کاملThe Effect of Recovery Furnace
A commercially available computational fluid dynamics code has been used to simulate temperature and flow profiles in the upper, convective heat transfer region of a recovery boiler for different bullnose designs. The convective heat transfer region of the furnace was simulated by examining a zone that begins below the bullnose and ends at the economizer. Superheater tubes and a boiler bank wer...
