A DYNAMIC SIMULATION MODEL FOR POWER PLANTS WITH ATMOSPHERIC AND PRESSURIZED CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTION - INTERACTIONS OF PLANT COMPONENTS AND DESIGN STUDIES

摘要

A dynamic simulation model for power plants with atmospheric circulating fluidized bed combustion (ACFBC) and pressurized circulating fluidized bed combustion (PCFBC) consisting of comprehensive submodels for the subsystems gas turbine, circulating fluidized bed combustor and water-/steam cycle is presented. Apart from the investigation of the complete power plant, the simulation program enables the analysis of the three mentioned subsystems separately. Each subsystem is described by a set of unsteady-state differential and algebraic equations solved by an implicit Euler-method using a modified Newton-Raphson method. With the aid of the dynamic simulation program for a selected power plant, the effect of changes in plant operation will be examined for full and part load as well as the transient response of the system due to the carried out operation. Emphasis is laid on the characterization of the interactions between the subsystems. The dynamic simulation program can be used for design studies and it is investigated how changes of the plant design influence the operation characteristics of the example plant.
