Simple, Fully Featured Boiler Loop Modelling

چکیده
The performance of hot water space heating systems for mild to warm temperate climates is dominated by the efficiency of boiler operation at low load (i.e. below 25% of nameplate capacity). This efficiency is influenced by a number of effects that are poorly represented in common modelling approaches, including static thermal losses from the boiler and distribution system, changes in burner efficiency at different firing rates, thermal inertia in the boiler loop and the effects of cyclic operation. In this paper, a simple model that includes these loss mechanisms is developed. An example from an actual project is used to demonstrate that addressing the full range of low-load efficiency effects can increase predicted boiler gas consumption substantially relative to standard simulation approaches.

There are various methods of power generation such as combined cycle power plants. There are many variables in a power plant boiler unit, but the most important variables are Pressure and specially drum level that control system should be put it in the safe range. The purpose of this article is, modifying the oscillatory behavior of the drum level of Kerman combined cycle power plant and especi...
متن کاملOffset-free fuzzy model predictive control of a boiler-turbine system based on genetic algorithm
This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) strategy based on genetic algorithm to solve the boiler–turbine control problem. First, a Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model based on gap values is established to approximate the behavior of the boiler–turbine system, then a specially designed genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to solve the resulting constrained MPC problem. A terminal cost is ad...
متن کاملMultivariable PI control for a boiler plant benchmark using the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning
In this work, the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning is applied to the control of a boiler plant benchmark. Only data (without any modelling step) was used to compute a series of PI controllers for both a decentralized and a complete multi-loop control strategies. When compared with other PI controllers, it was found that a better tuning of the controller was achieved yielding better closed-loop...
متن کاملBoiler Modelling and Optimal Control of Steam Temperature in Thermal Power Plants
Achieving accurate control of main steam temperature is a very difficult task in thermal power plants due to the large process lag (8 to 10 minutes) associated with the superheater system and there exists a deviation of ± 10 °C in closed loop control. A control oriented boiler model and an appropriate optimal control strategy are the essential tools for improving the accuracy of this control sy...
