Fossil power plants firing lower grade coals or equipped with modified system for NOx controls are challenged with maintaining good combustion conditions while maximizing generation and minimizing emissions. In many cases significant derate, availability losses and increase in unburned carbon levels can be attributed to poor combustion conditions as a result of poorly controlled local fuel and air distribution within the boiler furnace. In order to develop a on-line combustion tuning system, field test was conducted at operating power boiler. During the field test the exhaust gases' $O_2$, NOx and CO was monitored by using a spatially distributed monitoring grid located in the boiler's high temperature vestibule and upper convective back-pass region. At these locations, the flue gas flow is still significantly stratified, and air in-leakage is minimal which enables tracing of poor combustion zones to specific burners and over-fire air ports. using these monitored information we can improving combustion at every point within the furnace, therefore the boiler can operate at reduced excess $O_2$ and gas temperature deviation, reduced furnace exit gas temperature levels while also reducing localized hot spots, corrosive gas conditions, slag or clinker formation and UBC. Benefits include improving efficiency, reducing NOx emissions, increasing output and maximizing availability. Discussion concerning the reduction of greenhouse gases is prevalent in the world. When taking a practical approach to addressing this problem, the best way and short-term solution to reduce greenhouse gases on coal-fired power plants is to improve efficiency. From this point of view the real time optimized combustion tuning approach is the most effective and implemented with minimal cost.

Fossil power plants firing lower grade coals or equipped with modified system for $NO_x$ controls are challenged with maintaining good combustion conditions while maximizing generation and minimizing emissions. In many cases significant derate, availability losses and increase in unburned carbon levels can be attributed to poor combustion conditions as a result of poorly controlled local fuel and air distribution within the boiler furnace. In order to develop a on-line combustion tuning system, field test was conducted at operating power boiler. During the field test the exhaust gases' $O_2,\;NO_x$ and CO was monitored by using a spatially distributed monitoring grid located in the boiler's high temperature vestibule and upper convective rear pass region. At these locations, the flue gas flow is still significantly stratified, and air in-leakage is minimal which enables tracing of poor combustion zones to specific burners and over-fire air ports. using these monitored information we can improving combustion at every point within the furnace, therefore the boiler can operate at reduced excess $O_2$ and gas temperature deviation, reduced furnace exit gas temperature levels while also reducing localized hot spots, corrosive gas conditions, slag or clinker formation and UBC. Benefits include improving efficiency, reducing $NO_x$ emissions, increasing output and maximizing availability. Discussion concerning the reduction of greenhouse gases is prevalent in the world.

In the reaction furnace of modified Claus process, chemical equilibrium reactions and kinetic reactions occur simultaneously. The main kinetic components are hydrogen ($H_2$), carbon monoxide (CO), carbonyl sulphide (COS) and carbon disulphide ($CS_2$). The equilibrium calculations, empirical correlations and sulfur recovery technology providers' (licensors) data for kinetic components (COS and $CS_2$) in the reaction furnace were analyzed to evaluate the amount of kinetic components by applying them to five different projects in which GS Engineering & Construction participated. Kinetic components ($H_2$ and CO) are also calculated and the results are analyzed to evaluate the impact of temperature in the reaction furnace and the waste heat boiler. Total required $O_2$ deviations for combustion in the reaction furnace are additionally shown, with and without side reactions. A full understanding of side reactions in the modified Claus process can help to improve sulfur recovery efficiency and optimize equipment design.

It is required that a developed control system should be verified using simulator in terms of functionality and reliability prior to application to a power plant that is a very critical facility in the industry. In this paper, the control model for turbine bypass system was developed for power plant simulator. In order to develop the control model for turbine bypass system, the tool that can be used to implement turbine bypass control logic was developed based on the turbine bypass control system manual. The developed tool was merged into the simulator development environment. The functionality of the developed tool was verified via the simulation based on the each function block specification. The HP turbine bypass pressure control logic was implemented using the developed tool and was integrated with process models and other control models such as boiler control model, turbine control model and boiler feed water pump turbine control model for 500 MW korean standard type fossil power plant. Finally, the validity of the developed control model was shown via simulation result under the integrated simulation environment.

Fuzzy modelling is a useful method when the variation of plant dynamics is large. In the fuzzy modelling by parameter identification, a new method is proposed in the part of premise parameters identification and in expanding MISO system into MIMO system. Using the proposed method, a fuzzy model of the drum boiler of the thermal power plant can be derived. In addition, feedwater control of the drum by fuzzy controller using the fuzzy model, is simulated.

Recently most companies require various type of energy sources, in order to be more energy efficient in their plant due to the increasing current oil price. So, the multi-national companies are shaping ideas how to reduce energy costs and use substitute energy. The purpose of this study Is to attempt to save energy by making more valuable high pressure steam through TVR(Thermal Vapor Recompressor) from the surplus low pressure steam of HRB(Heat Recovery Boiler) in sulfuric acid plant.

For the purpose of the good tracking to variable load demands of the thermal power plant, a decentralized multilevel control(DMC) scheme is presented. It is applied to the drum type boiler-turbine system which is simplified from Boryung T/P #1,2 model[4]. A linearized model is decomposed into three subsystems by means of linear transformation. Then the DMC based on such subsystem is designed. Simulation using Matlab-Simulink shows that the proposed algorithm works very well to the large step change of power demand.

As a means of improving the reliability of the analog type controller for the thermal power plant, an efficient method is proposed, which is to place the hardware redundancy, i.e. a back-up controller with fault detecting capability. FTCS is implemented by using multi-processors and it is experimentally verified that the back-up controller takes over the role of the original controller, controlling the faulty loop.

The energy consumption efficiency in a variety of operational test mode was considered for domestic gas boiler below 70 kW. The energy efficiency test carried out in the experimental conditions similar to the actual operation status was analyzed and compared with the current Korean efficiency test method. Four types of test modes for each boiler(Non-condensing and condensing boiler) were carried out in the condition of laboratory mode(full load, steady state) and actual operating mode. Futhermore divided into two operational status for each of these, it was applied by maximum gas consumption and consumer sales conditions. Test equipment has the function referred to gas boiler standards, such as KS or European standard EN. The equipment should be continuously measured and record the measuring factors which are the flow volume of gas and water, laboratory temperature, water flow volume for heating, return water volume after heating and quantity of the exhaust gases(CO, NO, $NO_2$). The experimental results were found that non-condensing boiler efficiency of laboratory mode is about 10% higher than that of actual mode. In case of condensing boiler, the efficiency of laboratory condition is about 20% higher than that of the actual using conditions. I suggest that the government will gradually take the efficiency test method considering the actual conditions.
