The flame image observation and analysis has been investigated for combustion monitoring and management of the pulverized coal firing for thermal power plant, especially for lower nitrogen oxide generation and safer operation. We aimed at obtaining the relationship between burner flame image information and emissions of nitrogen oxide and unburned carbon in furnace utilizing the flame image processing methods, by which we quantitatively determine the conditions of combustion on the individual homers. Its feasibility test was undertaken with Samchonpo thermal power plant #4 unit which has 24 burners, through which the system was observed to be effective for evaluating the combustion conditions and continuous monitoring to prevent future loss of ignition.

The flame image processing and it's analysis system has been developed for optimal coal firing of thermal power plant, especially for reducing NOx and safe operations. We aimed at gaining the relationship between burner flame image, emissions of NOx and LOI(Loss on ignition) in furnace by utilizing the flame image processing methods. And the relationship determines quantitatively the conditions of combustion on the individual burners. The test was conducted on Samchonpo thermal power plant #4 unit(560MW) of KOSEP which has 24 burners. The system simplified the burner adjustment works in accordance with the real time trending of flame behavior like NOx profiles and unburned carbon profiles for individual burners. But, This kind of conventional method increases the cost as the number of burner are increased. Also there is a difficulty to measure exhausted gas of each burner because of measurement errors. This paper intends to propose the useful "Flame Monitoring System" that can find Low NOX and LOI at the upper furnace and to compare with the conventional System.

This simulation method is developed by using GateCycle code for the performance evaluation of the gas turbine in IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) power plant that uses clean coal gas fuel derived from coal gasification and gas clean-up processes and it is integrated with ASU(Air Separation Unit). In the present simulation method, thermodynamic calculation procedure is incorporated with compressor performance map and expander choking models for considering the off-design effects due to coal gas firing and ASU integration. With the clean coal gases produced through commercially available chemical processes, their compatibility as IGCC gas turbine fuel is investigated in the aspects the overall performance of the gas turbine system. The predictions by the present method show that the reduction of the air extraction from gas turbine to ASU results in a remarkable increase in the efficiency and net power of gas turbines, but it is accompanied with a shift of compressor operation point toward to surge limit. In addition, the present analysis results reveal the influence of compressor performance characteristics of gas turbine have to be carefully examined in designing the ASU integration process and evaluating the overall performance parameters of the gas turbine in IGCC Power plant.

Many countries have conducted extensive studies for biomass co-firing to enhance the durability of reactor on high-temperature corrosion. However, due to the complicated mechanisms of biomass co-firing, there have been limitations in accurately determining the current state of corrosion and predicting the potential risk of corrosion of power plant. In order to solve this issue, this study introduced Lab-scale corrosion system to analyze the corrosion characteristics of the A213 T91 material under the biomass co-firing conditions. The corrosion status of the samples was characterized using SEM/EDS analysis and mass loss measurement according to various biomass co-firing conditions such as corrosion temperature, $SO_2$ concentration, and corrosion time. As a result, the corrosion severity of A213 T91 material was gradually increased with the increase of $SO_2$ concentration in the reactor. When $SO_2$ concentration was changed from 0 ppm to 500 ppm, both corrosion severity and oxide layer thickness were proportionally increased by 15% and 130%, respectively. The minimum corrosion was observed when the corrosion temperature was $450^{\circ}C$. As the temperature was increased up to $650^{\circ}C$, the faster corrosion behavior of A213 T91 was observed. A213 T91 was observed to be more severely corroded by the effect of chlorine, resulting in faster corrosion rate and thicker oxide layer. Interestingly, corrosion resistance of A213 T91 tended to gradually decrease rather than increases as the oxide layer was formed. The results of this study is expected to provide necessary research data on boiler corrosion in biomass co-firing power plants.

목질계 등 유기성 바이오매스는 탄소중립(Carbon Neutral) 특성으로 인해 이산화탄소 배출이 없고, 기존의 석탄화력 혼소시에도 별도의 설비개조 없이 연료로 사용이 가능하며 연료 수급에도 안정성을 유지할 수 있다. 이러한 목질계 바이오매스를 석탄화력발전소에서 혼소하여 생산한 전력을 계통망에 공급하는 사업에 대해 CDM사업을 추진할 경우, AM0085 방법론을 적용할 수 있으며, kWh당 연료비도 유연탄보다 상대적으로 높아 경제적 추가성 입증이 가능하다. 그리고 바이오매스의 탄소중립 특성으로 목질계 바이오매스를 이용하여 생산 한 전력은 석탄을 통해 생산한 동일한 전력에 비해 1 MWh 당 $0.6737tCO_2$의 온실가스 저감효과가 존재한다.

석탄은 고정탄소분, 휘발분, 수분, 회로 구성되며, 연소시 회성분과 소량의 고정탄소분이 남게 된다. 석탄 화력 발전소에서는 석탄연소 후 나오는 잔여물(고정탄소분, 회)를 통칭하여 석탄회 라고 부르고 있다. 현재 발전소에서는 정제회(LOI함량 6%미만)는 경량골재의 원료로 재활용해 수익을 창출하고 있으나, LOI함량이 높은 회는 재활용이 불가능해 땅에 매립하고 있다. 이에 따라 환경적인 부담금을 줄이고 정제회 판매의 수익을 올리기 위해 회성분의 LIO감량은 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는TGA(Thermo-gravime- tric analysis)와 DTF(Drop tube furnce) 실험을 통해 석탄과 석탄회 연소를 위한 실험적인 상수 값을 결정하였다. 500MW급 표준화력발전 보일러를 모델링하고, 전산해석을 위해 격자를 형성시키고 적절한 해석 모델을 선정하였으며, 석탄회 재연소 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 석탄회 투입시 보일러 내부의 온도 및 유동을 모사하였다. 보일러 내부 석탄 입자와 회입자의 이동 궤적을 통해 가능한 높은 버너 위치에서 석탄회를 투입하는 것이 적절함을 나타내었다. 또한 실제 설치 가능한 D버너에서 6ton/h로 공급시에 기존의 보일러에 큰 영향을 주지 않으며 재연소 가능함을 알 수 있다.

최근 바이오매스와 석탄의 혼소 기술이 화력 발전의 주요한 연소 기술 중 하나로 떠오르고 있다. 그러나 혼소는 실제 발전용 보일러 적용시 많은 검증들을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 바이오매스 혼소시 연소 특성을 알아보기 위해 열중량 분석기(Thermogravimetric analyzer, TGA)와 하향분류층 반응기(Drop tube furnace, DTF)를 사용하였으며, TGA의 TG/DTG 분석을 통한 반응성과 DTF를 이용한 UBC를 측정하여 연소 특성을 분석하였다. 특히 석탄과 바이오매스 혼소율(Biomass blending ratio) 및 바이오매스 입자 크기 변화에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 바이오매스의 혼소율이 증가함에 따라 산소 부족으로 인한 반응 특성이 나타났으며, 이는 바이오매스가 가진 초기의 빠른 연소 특성 때문이다. 또한, 본 연구 결과를 통해 바이오매스의 최적 혼소 조건(UBC 발생량 기준)은 5%로 나타났으며, 산소 부화 조건은 바이오매스 혼소시 발생하는 산소 부족 현상을 저감시켜 미연분 상승을 완화시켜줄 수 있다.

국내 석탄화력발전소의 대용량 보일러를 대상으로 연소용 이차공기의 수평분사각을 변경한 경우에 대하여 화로에서의 연소특성과 NOx 발생특성을 전산유체역학적으로 해석하였다. 열유동해석 결과를 실제 운전데이터와 비교하여 해석의 신뢰성을 확인하할 수 있었다. 분사각을 $20^{\circ}$까지 증가시킬 경우 노즐 근처에서의 재순환유동 감소, 화로출구 NOx 감소와 미연분 증가를 가져왔으며 화구의 형태가 많이 변화되는 것을 관찰하였다. 본 연구결과는 A화력발전소의 연소방식을 변경하는 경우 기본적인 설계 및 운전 데이터로 활용하고자 한다.

A thermodynamic simulation method is developed for the process design and the performance evaluation of the gas turbine in IGCC power plant. The present study adopts four clean coal gases derived from four different coal gasification and gas clean-up processes as IGCC gas turbine fuel, and considers the integration design condition of the gas turbine with ASU(Air Separation Unit). In addition, the present simulation method includes compressor performance map and expander choking models for considering the off-design effects due to coal gas firing and ASU integration. The present prediction results show that the efficiency and the net power of the IGCC gas turbines are seperior to those of the natural gas fired one but they are decreased with the air extraction from gas turbine to ASU. The operation point of the IGCC gas turbine compressor is shifted to the higher pressure ratio condition far from the design point by reducing the air extraction ratio. The exhaust gas of the IGCC gas turbine has more abundant wast heat for the heat recovery steam generator than that of the natural gas fired gas turbine.
