Development and Application of A Coal Combustion Life Cycle On-line Monitoring System

摘要

In China, coal quality fluctuates and deviates greatly from the original design in many large-scale coal-fired power plants. To maintain a secure level and combustion efficiency, a "coal combustion life cycle online monitoring system" (CLMS) has been developed and installed on a 215MW boiler in China. Ten temperature detectors have been installed at the heights of three-layer burners along the furnace. To improve the accuracy of measuring unburnt carbon in fly ash, an adjustable microwave test facility was established. An on-line measurement device for unburnt carbon in ash has been newly developed and attached to the convection flue gas pass. To optimize combustion processes, a real-time neural network prediction model for coal calorific value has been developed. By calculating and analyzing the data in computer workstations, safety evaluation of burner ignition, economic analysis and energy loss analysis can be obtained in real time. As for fluctuation in coal quality, application of the system has improved boiler efficiency more than 1.0%, and reduced NO_x by ～10-15%.
