Abstract

In this study, I analyzed the effects on stabilizing the draft system, boiler efficiency when changing excess air ratio under 870 MW load limit operation condition in a large capacity coal fired power plant and decided optimum excess air ratio. It is positively necessary to choose adequate excess air ratio for stabilizing draft system because air pre-heater pressure drop and induced draft fan first stall margin are changing when adjusting excess air ratio. This study therefore, measured air pre-heater pressure drop, induced draft fan first stall margin, boiler efficiency, loss and has chosen adequate excess air ratio adjusting excess air ratio from 1.153 to 1.127. So it is recommended that the operation point needs to be changed to 1.127 that is not only to decrease air pre-heater pressure drop and to stabilize draft system and to secure stall margin but also to maintain boiler efficiency to equivalent level.

본 연구에서는 870 MW 대형 석탄화력 발전소에서 출력을 고정시키고 과잉공기비 조정만으로 통풍계통 안정 및 보일러 효율에 어떠한 변화가 있는지를 분석하였으며 이에 따른 적정 과잉공기비를 선정하였다. 과잉공기비 조정에 따라 공기예열기 압력강하, 유인송풍기 실속여유 등이 변하므로 통풍계통 안정화를 위해 적정 과잉공기비 선정은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과잉공기비를 통상 운전 값인 1.153에서 운전지침서상의 하한 값인 1.127까지 단계적으로 조정하여 공기예열기 압력강하, 유인송풍기 1차 실속여유, 보일러 효율, 각종 손실 등을 측정하였고 보일러 효율도 동등수준이상으로 유지하면서 통풍계통도 위험수준에서 안전하게 이격시켜 안정화에 기여할 수 있는 적정 과잉공기비를 선정하였다. 적정 과잉공기비는 운전지침서 상의 하한 값인 1.127까지 낮추어 운전하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.
