Efficient model-based leak detection in boiler steam-water systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model-based least-squares algorithm with a time-varying forgetting factor is developed for leak detection in boiler steam-water systems. The algorithm has been tested using real industrial data from Syncrude Canada, and has proven to be effective in detection of boiler tube or steam leaks; proper implementation of the algorithm would lead to early leak warning, which is important in maintaining safe operation of the plant. # 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

متن کاملLEAK DETECTION IN WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM USING NON-LINEAR KALMAN FILTER
Leakage detection in water distribution systems play an important role in storage and management of water resources. Therefore, to reduce water loss in these systems, a method should be introduced that reacts rapidly to such events and determines their occurrence time and location with the least possible error. In this study, in order to determine position and amount of leakage in distribution ...
متن کاملControl System Simulator for Steam Boiler Parameters
Abstract: The paper presents the research results related to control of the steam boiler parameters: drum level, furnace pressure and steam pressure. It was developed the mathematical model of the water-steam system and furnace part of the boiler. Also, the paper presents the algorithm for real time detection of model parameter variations. In this context a correction method, validate through s...
متن کاملImportance of Three-elements Boiler Drum Level Control and Its Installation in Power Plant
Conversion of water into steam is the primary function of a utility boiler. The steam pressure is used to turn a steam turbine thus, generating electricity. Within the boiler drum there exists a steam/water interface. Boiler steam drum water level is one of the important parameters of power plant that must be measured and controlled. For safe and efficient boiler operation, a constant level of ...
متن کاملMonitoring 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 proces...
