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 boiler...

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...

The present paper deals with the optimization of a multi-energy district boiler (La Rochelle, France) which supplies domestic hot water and heats residential and public buildings, using renewable and fossil resources. First, a combination of white, grey and black boxes was used to model the plant, thanks to a modular approach. Next, a stratified thermal storage tank was modelled and completed t...

The fast pyrolysis process is developed to produce liquid bio oil from biomass. In the discussed process the required thermal energy is extracted from a circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFB) as hot sand fed into the pyrolysis reactor. Residual char and uncondensed gases from the pyrolysis process are fed back and combusted in the boiler. Thus, the pyrolysis and the boiler processes are interco...

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...

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...

This work presents a new method for controlling fuel and air fed boiler of thermal power plant using Fuzzy logic. The control strategy is based on supervisor level using Fuzzy logic that is required to determine automatically the optimal process set points of regulations level. Besides, this paper describes thermal power plant simulator developed by Matlab-Simulink. Key-Words: Thermal power pla...

Article history: Received October 15, 2011 Accepted 10 March 2012 Available online 12 March 2012 The recent development of world is being adversely affected by the scarcity of power and energy. To survive in the next generation, it is thus necessary to explore the non-conventional energy sources and efficiently consume the available sources. For efficient exploitation of the existing energy sou...
