National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) has signed an MoU with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) for design and development of automated boiler tube inspection system for vertical water wall tubes. A vertical climbing robot has been developed for this purpose at Division of Remote Handling & Robotics (DRHR), BARC. Recently, an Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) has been integrated ...

The paper discusses the features of the Biomass Boiler drum water level. Conventional PID Control System can not reach a satisfaction result in nonlinearity and time different from Biomass Boiler Drum Water Control System. In this study, a kind of fuzzy self-adaptive PID controller is described and this controller is used in biomass boiler’s drum water level control system. Using the simulink t...

AbstructThis paper presents the development of a control oriented boiler model carried out on the basis of fundamental physical laws, previous efforts in boiler modeling, known physical constants, plant data, and heuristic adjustments. The resulting fairly accurate model is nonlinear, fourth order, and includes inverse response (shrink and swell effects), time delays, measurement noise models, ...

as part of the OptiEnR research project, the present paper deals with optimizing the multi-energy district boiler of La Rochelle (France) adding to the plant a controlled thermal storage tank. This plant supplies domestic hot water and heats residential and public buildings, using renewable and fossil resources. Due to the complexity of the district boiler as a whole and the strong interactions...

Cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. Among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. Boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. In this paper, the performance of thermal oil bo...

This paper discusses the application of hybrid model predictive control to control switching between different burner modes in a novel compact marine boiler design. A further purpose of the present work is to point out problems with finite horizon model predictive control applied to systems for which the optimal solution is a limit cycle. Regarding the marine boiler control the aim is to find a...

Abstract A boiler is one of the most significant components in a steam power plant system, as from used to crank turbine, which drives an electric generator. sootblower piece equipment that cleans ash and scale has built up on pipes. The heat-transfer pipes have been reduced. When soot builds or riser boiler’s walls, heat transfer impeded, resulting less transfer. amount produced by will decrea...

Exergy analysis is an important tool to identify the improvements in various industrial processes. In this study, existing steam power plant examined based on energy and exergy analyses. The network comprised of two sections, one them used for paddy drying, while other portion operate turbine in-house electricity production. Mass, energy, balances are applied individual equipment plant. modeled...
