The values of reaction forces in the boiler supports are the basis for the dimensioning of bearing steel structure of steam boiler. In this paper, the application of the method of equivalent stiffness of membrane wall is proposed for the calculation of reaction forces. The method of equalizing displacement, as the method of homogenization of membrane wall stiffness, was applied. On the example ...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the exergy costs of a real large industrial boiler with the aim of improving efficiency. Specifically, the 350-MW front-fired, natural circulation, single reheat and balanced draft coal-fired boiler forms part of a 1050-MW conventional power plant located in Spain. We start with a diagram of the power plant, followed by a formulation of the exergy cost alloca...

This document describes the motivations for and the effects of cofiring biomass with pulverized coal (pc) in pc-fired boilers. Such cofiring represents a near-term, low-risk, low-cost option for reducing the net CO2 emissions from the power generation sector. This document focuses on four of the critical fireside issues associated with cofiring: ash deposition, NOx production, corrosion, and ca...

Graphical representation is useful to illustrate complex structure in a direct or intuitive way. A graph is a symbolic of network and its connectivity can be simplified as a set of linked notes. In recent studies of complex control system, directed graph has been introduced to define and interpret the interconnection structure underlying the dynamics of the interacting subsystem. Generally, the...

Increasing world-wide energy use and growing population growth presents a critical need for enhanced energy efficiency and sustainability. One method to address this issue is via waste heat scavenging. In this approach, thermal energy that is normally expelled to the environment is transferred to a secondary device to produce useful power output. This paper investigates a novel MEMS-based boile...

With the advancement of software engineering in recent years, the model checking techniques are widely applied in various areas to do the verification for the system model. However, it is difficult to apply the model checking to verify requirements due to lacking the details of the design. Unlike other model checking tools, LTSA provides the structure diagram, which can bridge the gap between t...

In Formal methods for industrial applications: specifying and programming the steam boiler control,

considering that once-through benson boiler is one of the most crucial equipment of a thermal power plant, occurrence of any fault in its different parts can lead to decrease of the performance of system, and even may cause system damage and endanger the human life. in this paper, due to the high complexity of the system's dynamic equations, we utilized data-based method for diagnosing the faul...

nowadays, energy plays an important role in the economic and community development of country. consequently, performance analysis of energy systems is one of the effective methods being used to prevent waste of energy resources. among the different power generation technologies, steam power plants make a significant contribution to power generation in iran, with a share of 47 % of electricity g...

Biomass fuel is considered a promising substitute for traditional fossil fuels. Amid a great variety of methods for converting the energy in biomass fuel into usable energy, direct combustion is still the dominant technology employed by industry. Because biomass fuel possess a much wider range of physical and chemical properties than fossil fuel, its combustion behavior is similarly diverse (an...
