Owing to the need to accommodate the load variation, thermal power plants need a modern controller in order to achieve better frequency regulation, faster response and higher efficiency. For a successful development of the digital instrumentation and control system that can adopt advanced control algorithms, power plant simulator must be available for safe and convenient test. In this paper, a simple drum-type boiler model is proposed using Signal Flow Diagram that describes the system by a combination of basic time responses representing the relationships between cause and effect process variables. After verifying the model and thereafter building a simulator based on the proposed model, we tested the operation of the controller and stability or efficiency of the implemented control algorithms.

자연순환식 압입 송풍식 수관보일러에 FGR시스템을 설치하여 보일러 부하 및 공기량 댐퍼개도를 파라미터로 해서 FGR률에 따른 성능 및 배기 배출물에 미치는 재순환 배기의 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 $NO_x$ 배출물을 저감시키기 위하여 동력플랜트 보일러에 FGR시스템을 적용하는 것이다. 연소를 활성화시키기 위해 0 ~ 20%의 연소용 공기를 화염 내에 공급한다. 공기상자 상부에 설치된 2단 연소시스템의 흡입댐퍼를 $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$ 사이에서 레버를 조작하여 열면, 버너로 공급되는 연소용 공기가 변화된다. 증발률당의 연료소비율은 FGR률의 증가에 따라 증가 혹은 감소의 명확한 경향을 나타내지 않았고, 동일 공기량 댐퍼개도에서는 FGR률이 증가할수록, 또한, 보일러 부하가 감소할수록 $NO_x$ 배출물이 감소되었다. 매연 배출물은 전기 집진기에서 86.7%의 포집효율로 매연이 제거되었기 때문에, 보일러 부하, 공기량 댐퍼 개도 및 FGR률의 운전조건에 관계없이 극소량의 매연이 배출되었다.

대규모 화력 발전소 제어용 시뮬레이터 개발은 급수/증기 계통, 공기/연소가스 계통, 미분탄 계통 및 터빈/발전기 계통으로 구성되며, 기계적인 터빈/발전기를 제외하고 모든 계통에 대하여 모델링이 가능하다. 현재까지 화력발전의 일부 계통에 대한 신경망 시뮬레이터 개발에 대한 시도는 있었으나 전체 계통에 대한 시뮬레이터 개발은 완성된 적이 없다. 특히 모든 발전사의 핵심 기술 개발중 하나인 오토튜닝은 정확도가 높은 모든 계통에 대한 모델링이 완성되어야 이룰 수 있는 기술이다. 이에 본 논문은 신경망 알고리즘을 이용하여 시스템을 설계할 경우 가장 핵심인 입출력 관계에 대한 변수를 모든 계통에 대하여 정의하였다. 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 실제 보일러 계통의 95~99% 이상 정확도를 보임에 따라 본 시뮬레이터에 현장 PID 제어기를 결합할 경우 고장진단이나 오토튜닝에 활용 가능할 것이다.

In the recent trend of electric power supply market, a variable pressure operation supercritical once-through steam generator is highlighted as a thermal power plant for cycling load because of its superiority in load regulation. Almost all thermal power plants of the future are expected to be variable pressure operation supercritical once-through units. APESS(Advanced Plant Engineering & Simulation System) is a dynamic simulation software for power plant which is under being developed by Korea Heavy Industries & Construction Co., Ltd. This paper present the introduction of APESS and the result of simulation for variable pressure operation supercritical once-through steam generator.

Electric boilers (EBs) are the backup steam source for the auxiliary steam system of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants. When the plant is in normal operations, the EB is always in hot standby status. However, the current hot standby operation strategy has problems of slow response, high power consumption, and long operation time. To solve these problems, this study focuses on the optimization of hot standby operations for the EB system. First, mathematical models of an electrode immersion EB and its accompanying deaerator were established. Then, a control simulation platform of the EB system was developed in MATLAB/Simulink implementing the established mathematical models and corresponding control systems. Finally, two optimization strategies for the EB hot standby operation were proposed, followed by dynamic simulations of the EB system transient from hot standby to normal operations. The results indicate that the proposed optimization strategies can significantly speed up the transient response of the EB system from hot standby to normal operations and reduce the power consumption in hot standby operations, improving the dynamic performance and economy of the system.

This paper introduces the Performance Monitoring System(PMS) in a thermal power plant. The purpose of the PMS is to offer the operator current performance information of plant which could be an index of plant status or information to improve plant efficiency. The PMS of Bukcheju thermal power plant unit ＃2&3 is implemented under the SIEMENS DCS which supplies about 150 function blocks for performance calculation and all measured signals. The performance of unit, boiler, turbines, feedwater heaters, condenser, airpreheaters, feedwater pumps will be monitored and updated for every 5 minutes in PMS of Bukcheju TPP.

In this paper a boiler control system simulator is designed and inplemeted in order to evaluate performance of the Fault Tolerant Control System. It simulates a boiler control system of a thermal power plant containtng boiler process, peripheral units and analog controller. The simulator uses a low order linear model for boiler first order models for the peripheral unit. Specifically the model of the analog controller is modularized and transformed to digital form if order to be implemented using a micro-processor board. The experimental results show the usability of the developed simulator for the performance test of the FTCS.

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) dynamic matrix control (DMC) technique is applied to control steam temperatures in a large-scale ultrasupercritical once-through boiler-turbine system. Specifically, four output variables (i.e., outlet temperatures of platen superheater, finish superheater, primary reheater, and finish reheater) are controlled using four input variables (i.e., two spray valves, bypass valve, and damper). The step-response matrix for the MIMO DMC is constructed using the four input and the four output variables. Online optimization is performed for the MIMO DMC using the model predictive control technique. The MIMO DMC controller is implemented in a full-scope power plant simulator with satisfactory performance.

In a heat only boiler system of a steam power plant, outdoor air required for combustion is made to pass through indoor space for increasing the boiler efficiency. Due to heat generated by various equipments, temperature of the air that enters the boiler will increase resulting in combustion efficiency. If the outdoor air temperature is low, however, this will cause freezing and bursting of pipes which are filled with water. It is especially fatal to small diameter pipes and pipes connected to measuring instruments. The purpose of this study is find operation and outdoor conditions where this phenomena can happen and also establish preventive measures to avoid this problem.
