This paper is concerned with calculating boiler efficiency as one of the most important types of performance measurements in any steam power plant. That has a key role in determining the overall effectiveness of the whole system within the power station. For this calculation, a Visual-Basic program was developed, and a steam power plant known as El-Khmus power plant, Libya was selected as a cas...

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...

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 ...

All rights reserved Effective simulations to ensure optimal performance and correctly predict the hydraulic and thermomechanical behaviour of today’s huge boiler feed water pumps are a challenge for engineers and constructors. Generally, boiler feed water pumps are subjected to extreme mechanical and thermal stresses because of their huge siz...

The optimal use of fuel energy and water in a fire tube boiler is important in achieving economical system operation, precise control system design required to achieve high speed of response with no overshot. Two artificial intelligence techniques, fuzzy control (FLC) and geneticfuzzy control (GFLC) applied to control both of the water/steam temperature and water level control loops of boiler. ...

Received Oct 21, 2017 Revised Dec 28, 2017 Accepted Jan 13, 2018 An embedded based power plant system is used for checking the environmental condition based on different sensor. The microcontroller is fixed inside the boiler which is a turbine, to monitor the status and the information is passed through GSM. In this project we proposed the main water tank supplies number of boilers. The water l...

In this paper we compare and discuss the performance of a boiler evaporator system when the system is controlled by a traditional PID-type strategy and when the system is enhanced by using fuzzy logic blocks to provide set-points for the system. The strategy used in fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) is called fuzzy supervisory control and it generates set-points for the conventional controllers. T...

In this paper, we describe the implementation and usage of a simulation with graphical visualization for a steam-boiler [Abri94]. The simulation imitates the behaviour of the steam-boiler and can be controlled using a simple ASCII protocol. It reacts to defined commands and sends information about its state every five seconds. Furthermore, we describe the options available, the protocol which f...

The water level of boiler drum is one of the crucial control parameters for any process industry which reflects the control of mainly boiler load and feed water indirectly. If the level exceeds the limits, boiler water carryover into the superheater or the turbine may cause damage resulting in extensive maintenance costs. If the level is low, overheating of the water wall tubes may cause tube r...
