Monitoring and Controlling of Boiler Drum Parameters Using Lab View

The boiler drum level control unit is one of the main parameter in the thermal power station. Currently the boiler drum parameters are monitored only by using MATLAB software. There is no automatic control available. In the proposed system the boiler drum parameters such as temperature level, pressure level, water level and Droplet identifier are measured and controlled by using embedded processor through LabVIEW. Droplet identifier is used to check the steam that comes from the boiler .Pure steam is required to run the turbine so droplet identifier checks whether the steam is wet or dry if it is wet steam then turbine blades gets damaged. So it identifies the wet or dry steam and converted to dry steam. In order to meet out the steam requirement, to safeguard the boiler water tubes and turbine blades, the boiler water drum level control plays an important role in thermal power station.
