Based on Multi-Sensor Information Fusion Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Combustion Process Clustering Control Research

Abstract Over the decade, due to the fact that the global energy resources are in deadly shortage, much emphasis is put on the energy consumption in thermal power throughout the world. Following developed is Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler (CFBB) in recent years, a kind of combustion boiler that can clean and desulfurize the coal efficiently in the combustion process.Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler (CFBB) is a control object with features of time varying parameters, large delay, and multivariable control tightly coupled. Noticeably, many factors influence the combustion process. This paper designs a three level ART2-BP-BP of data fusion--fusion cluster control system based on methods of multi-sensor information fusion and cluster analysis. It completes data fusion from the data level, the feature level to the decision level. Especially, the concept of Situation Threat Space aiming at the potential threats in CFBB is presented. Results of simulation show that the control system in this paper is feasible and effective, in particular, the control system still has more satisfactory control effect in the case of a variety of sensor failures.
