보일러 연료제어의 근본 목적은 보일러 입력에너지와 출력에너지 간의 평형을 유지하는 것이다. 보일러 출력에너지는 유출증기가 가지고 나가는 총 에너지에 해당하고, 입력에너지는 보일러에 공급되는 연료의 연소에 의해 발생하는 열 에너지에 해당한다. 보일러 연료의 공급과 연소제어에는 여러 가지 변수가 상존하고 있으며, 이 변수들의 영향을 잘 반영하여 필요한 연료량을 실시간으로 정확히 제어하는 것이 결코 쉬운과제가 아니다. 석탄연소발전소의 주연료는 당연히 석탄이며 석탄을 입자가 매우 적은 미분탄으로 가공해서 연소하는 '미분탄 연소방식'을 많이 사용한다. 석탄의 공급과 연소에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 도입 탄종 변화에 따른 발열량, 수분함유량, 기타 성분의 변화가 있으며, 미분기 특성 및 성능변화, 연소용 공기 공급상태 변동에 따른 연소상태변화 등을 들 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 국내 석탄화력 발전소에서 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 전형적인 보일러 연료제어 전략과 알고리듬을 분석하였으며, 여기서 습득한 이론을 바탕으로 내년에는 실제 발전소에 적용할 연료제어로직을 설계할 예정이다.

화력 발전소의 주 연료로 사용되는 석탄은 1차 공기에 의해 노내로 이송되어 연소되게 된다. 연소에 필요한 1차 공기량은 연소되는 탄의 종류와 급탄기로 보내는 급탄량에 의해 결정되고, 1차 공기량 제어는 연소에 영향을 주며, 역화와 과열 방지를 위해 적절한 제어가 요구된다. 특히 단일 탄종이 아닌 여러 탄종을 연소하는 화력 발전소에서는 탄종에 따라서 그리고 연소되는 탄량에 따라서 미분기로 들어가는 1차 공기량을 변화시켜야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 2종류의 탄을 연소하는 발전소에 대해 연소탄종에 따른 1차 공기량 제어 로직을 구현하고, 구현한 로직에 의한 1차 공기량 제어 결과를 통해 구현한 제어 로직의 효용성을 보인다.

A study was conducted to apply open-loop control to the combustion instability in a dump combustor using gaseous hydrocarbon fuels. Control power and frequency were varied by employing a loudspeaker under combustion conditions with similar characteristic chemistry times of the fuels. In the case of open-loop control where the frequency was identical to the combustion instability frequency, the open-loop control power affected the control performance. Results obtained from conducted open-loop control tests, where the frequency was different from the combustion instability frequency, show that setting the open-loop control frequency similar to the combustion instability frequency is effective.

Control method for DACS with variable burning area is designed and the performance of the control method is analyzed by doing simulation at various conditions. DACS, which got solid propellant on board, is designed as end-burning type typically. End-burning type DACS has the merit of controlling pressure and thrust, but it discharges the combustion gas which does not using for getting thrust. Therefore, optimal design of propellant grain and burning area changes over time as a result. Variable burning area can be assumed as a disturbance and adaptive control method is useful for pressure control of DACS effected by disturbance.

The mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability and the possibility of combustion control using a loudspeaker to these instabilities were studied. By changing inlet velocity, combustor length and equivalence ratio, the dynamic pressure signals and the flame structures were simultaneously taken. The results showed that as the combustor length increased and the inlet velocity decreased, the instability frequency decreased and the maximum power spectral densities of the dynamic pressures generally decreased. The instability frequency could be affected by an equivalence ratio over the operating conditions. From the data of close-loop control, as the loudspeaker may work out-of-phase with the natural instability, the optimum time-delay controller was confirmed to be able to reduce the vortex shedding from the mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability.

Refuse incineration plant operations involve many kinds of uncertain factors, such as the variable physical properties of refuse as fuel and the complexity of the burning phenomenon. This makes it very dificult to apply conventional control methods to the combustion control of the refuse. So most of the refuse incineration plant are operated by operators. In this paper, an multi-variable fuzzy model predictive controller is proposed for the combustion control of the re:fuse. Adaptive network based fuzzy inference system is used for modeling of the refuse incineration plant and multi-variable fuzzy model predictive controller is designed based on the identified fuzzy model. And computer simulation was carried out to evaluate performance of the proposed controller.

To control and improve a combustion behavior of an engine, various studies for the in-cylinder pressure have been consistently carried out. In this paper, the level of the combustion noise for a diesel engine is estimated from the in-cylinder pressure and defined as the combustion noise index. The combustion noise index is calculated from the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) of the in-cylinder pressure and its validity is verified. The control system based on the combustion noise index is developed and implemented in a vehicle. A number of injection parameters are controlled to meet the desired combustion noise index, and the combustion noise of a vehicle is improved up to 4.0 dB(A) in the specified frequency band.

로켓 엔진의 개발에 있어 성능과 수명(life time)에 가장 문제가 되는 것은 연소 안정성에 있다. 일반적으로 연소 불안정을 야기시키는 것은 3가지로서 축방향(longitudinal), 반경방향(radial)과 접선방향(longitudinal) 모드(mode)가 있다. 이와 같은 모드를 제어하는 방법에는 수동적 제어방법으로 음향공(acoustic cavity)과 배플(baffle)이 있으며, 음향공은 모드에 관계없이 특정한 주파수에 맞추어 체적을 조절하여 음향파(acoustic wave)를 감쇄시키는 것이고 배플은 주파수에 관계없이 접선방향 모드를 제어하는 것이 기본 목적이나 허브(hub)를 설치하여 반경방향 모드까지 제어할 수 있다. 음향공은 엔진의 성능 또는 연소장에는 영향을 주지 않고 작동하는 반면, 배플은 초기 엔진설계를 할 때 고려하지 않으면 후에 배플을 장착하였을 때는 초기 설계의 제한 때문에 장착의 어려움과 성능 및 연소장에 영향을 미쳐 원하지 않는 엔진의 시험 결과를 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 KSR-III와 동일한 조건의 연소기에서 다양한 배플을 장착하였을 경우에 대하여 성능과 연소장에 대하여 예측하였다.

The combustion instability in a model dump combustor with an exhaust nozzle and the possibility of combustion control using a loudspeaker to these instabilities were studied. By changing inlet velocity, combustor length and equivalence ratio, dynamic pressure signals and flame structures were simultaneously taken. Because inlet velocity and combustor length affect the life time of vortex in the dump combustor, the results showed that as the combustor length increased and the inlet velocity decreased, the instability frequency decreased and the maximum power spectral density of the dynamic pressure generally decreased. Also, instability frequency and maximum power spectral density of the dynamic pressure increased with the increment of equivalence ratio. From the data of close-loop control, the optimum time-delay control using a loudspeaker was confirmed to be able to reduce the vortex shedding induced from the mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability.
