Improvement of the control system over drum boilers for burning combustible artificial gases

One of the promising directions in the development of power industry in Ukraine is the implementation of low-cost activities with a fast payback period, which would make it possible, without attracting significant funds, and in the shortest possible time, to bring down fuel and electricity consumption. Such activities could include the use of the new structural circuits of automated control at the existing steam generators running on organic fuel, which will allow, without a substantial equipment modernization, the use of combustible artificial gases as fuel. A limiting factor for the combustion of artificial gases in energy drum boilers is their low calorific value and insufficient throughput of the regulating valve, which depends on density of the regulated medium. We examined a possibility of burning artificial gases in energy boilers without considerable modernization of basic equipment (replacement of burners and controlling elements, installation of additional steam generating equipment) both for a single drum boiler and a group of boilers operating in the common steam line. In both cases, in order to increase the throughput, a gas compressor is employed. It was established that for the aligned work of the compressor with a heat load ACS of one boiler, it is necessary to define a transfer function of the communication device. To control a group of boilers, we synthesized multidimensional optimal ACS that would make it possible to improve the integrated quality indicators to regulate pressure and consumption of superheated steam. The implementation of the obtained technical solutions will improve energy security and effectiveness of the industrial potential of Ukraine.

1. Introduction

According to expert estimates of the world economy growth, the demand for energy resources may grow by 36 % from 2011 to 2030 [1]. Key factors driving the increase in energy consumption will include the planet's population growth (up to 8.3 billion by 2030) and the rise in global GDP (twice compared to 2011). Owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization of the low and middle-income countries, they will account for 70 % of the world GDP growth and for over 90 % of the increase in world demand for energy. A logical increase in the energy demand, that is in proportion to the GDP growth, will be limited by a continuous improvement of the efficiency of its use. Reduction in the energy intensity of production will be achieved by utilizing renewable energy resources, shale energy, and the new improved technologies for the production of industrial products and raw materials processing [2].

Under conditions when the price of conventional energy resources in global markets experiences sharp fluctuations and access to them can be restricted, it is required, first of all, to consider the geographical position and the availability of a certain type of energy resources. An implementation of low-cost activities with a fast payback period might become a promising direction in the development of energy sector. This will make it possible, without attracting significant funds, in the shortest

possible time, to reduce fuel and electricity consumption. For example: employing new structural schemes and automated control systems at steam generators that are at operation today. Given this, there is a possibility to use as fuel combustible artificial gases without substantial modernization of equipment.

The artificial gases, which are produced from solid fuel, include coke, shale, generator and blast-furnace gases. In most cases, these gases are a byproduct of chemical or metallurgical production and economically disadvantageous to be transported over long distances as they possess low calorific value (Table 1).

Therefore, it is a relevant direction in the development of thermal automatics to study the possibility of improving existing control systems for the combustion of cheap artificial gas.

2. Literature review and problem statement

When addressing the issue of burning a fuel with variable chemical composition, one can point to several main directions: structural, technological, and analytical. The world's leading developers of the technologies of combustion of synthesis gases are Siemens (Germany), General Electric (USA), and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan), which propose burning artificial gases in gas-turbine plants (GTP) with improved combustion chambers [3]. Also considered is the possibility of modernizing the burners themselves for changing the torch geometry, where the burner design employs the effect of interaction between gas jets with an incident transverse air flow [4].

Another approach involves a modification of the fuel itself - dilution of the synthesis gas with nitrogen, steam, or combustion products [5]. All of this greatly enhances the power of GTP. That is, an increase in the consumption of combustion products through the gas turbine and an elevated steam-turbine part's power occurs owing to the increased mass flow rates of flue gases through a heat recovery boiler. It is also possible to add to the low-quality fuel combustion activators (anaclarid) with a simultaneous improvement of the system for fuel supply to a furnace [6]. The countries with a developed agrarian sector utilize joint combustion of fossil fuels and biomass [7].

Economic effect can also be achieved through the development of an individual technological circuit, preparation and delivery of artificial gas to the place of combustion. Here also belong the intermediate heat selection techniques to produce electricity. The circuits that imply not the final unit of artificial gas combustion but rather from the intermediate point of its partial cooling [8]. If there are multiple consumers of gaseous fuels, one may allocate heat load among a group of boilers, which work on a common steam pipe, depending on the caloric value of the combusted gas. Underlying this solution is the minimization of an objective function that takes into account the probability of equipment failure and maximum efficiency of its application [9].

Analytical approach is associated with determining the chemical composition of a combustible gas by using a mathematical model of the fuel combustion process with known qualitative composition [10]. Further improvement of the mathematical method for determining the composition of a combustible gas makes it possible to soften restrictions on the fuel used and to implement this idea in the form of a technical device [11]. Such an approach would enhance the existing systems of nonlinear control over a boiler unit in which extreme regulator analyzes the current consumption of fuel, air, and steam, and determines the optimal ratio of gas-air mixture components [12].

3. The aim and objectives of the study

The goal of present research is to determine a technical possibility to expand (increase) the range of control action

of the automated control system over thermal load with a signal by heat. Such control system must provide supply of the required amount of artificial gas to the burners when the throughput of the regulator is limited.

To accomplish the set goal, the following tasks have been selected:

- to determine the effect of throughput of the regulator on the consumption of artificial gas on the burners;

- to define a dependence for the calculation of a communication device between the heat load ACS and the control system of gas compressor;

- to synthesize a multidimensional optimal control system over a group of drum boilers that burn artificial gas and generate steam to a common steam line.

4. Materials and methods to study control system for a technological section of steam generation

4. 1. Determining the effect of artificial gas composition on the throughput of the regulator

Steam drum boilers are widely used in thermal power plants, industrial and heating boiler rooms. To maintain the specified steam production, a standard automated control system (ACS) over thermal load is used (Fig. 1). A task of the thermal load ACS is to maintain the set pressure of superheated steam when a drum boiler operates under controlling mode, or the specified consumption of superheated steam when the boiler is running under basic mode. A thermal load ACS has two modifications. The first one is with a signal on fuel consumption when the burners are fed with liquid or gaseous fuel with a constant calorific value. The second one is with a signal on heat release in the combustion chamber when using a solid fuel, or qualitative composition of the liquid or gaseous fuel is not constant [13].

Fig. 1. Structural diagram of the thermal load control with a signal on heat

The capacity of a thermal load ACS with a signal on heat release to compensate for the in-flow perturbations with specific fuel combustion heat is limited by the throughput of the regulator, which does not exceed 20 % of the nominal natural gas flow rate. It is necessary to also take into account the density and calorific value of artificial gases, which may differ from the similar properties of natural gas (pNG=0.68-0.85 kg/m3, QHV = 28 - 46 MJ/m3) in both larger and smaller side (Table 1).

Maximum volume gas flow rate, reduced to normal conditions (P=1.033 kgf/cm2, 0=0 °C), through the regulator ( R) is determined from equation

Qmax = 535Km

APPL pTk '

(1)

where Kumax is the maximum throughput of R, APR is the pressure differential on R, P2 is the pressure of medium after R, p is the density of gas, T1 is the temperature of gas before R, k is the compressibility factor.

Because Km**, P2, T1, k over the operation of boiler equipment practically do not change, then equation (1) can be written in the form

Qmax = Kr

(2)

where KR is the constant coefficient, which determines the maximum gas flow rate to the burners depending on differential pressure on R and gas density.

Given the calorific value of gas QLHV, heat release in the combustion chamber will be determined from equation

Qcv = QLHVQmax = Q-LHVKR\I .

P

(3)

If we accept that gas pressure in the gas pipeline is kept constant, then heat release in the combustion chamber at fully open R will depend only on the density of gas and its calorific value. The ratio of natural gas heat release Q^G to the heat release of artificial gas QCaG allows us to determine the potential for using the existing boiler equipment for the combustion of alternative gaseous fuel

generation will make up 4 %. One of the ways to increase capacity of the regulator throughput is to increase the pressure differential on it. This can be achieved if artificial gas is fed to the burners using a compressor. The compressor, by increasing the pressure of gas before a fully open regulator, increases its consumption and compensates for its low calorific value and high density.

4. 2. Mathematical description of the control object

The examined technological section consists of a compressor and a pipeline for artificial gas, a drum boiler, and a steam line. Natural or artificial gas passes through the regulator and burns in the combustion chamber. The adjustable parameters for this section are: pressure of superheated steam PSS and heat release in the furnace chamber QCV. Controlling influence is the position of R on the consumption of gaseous fuel hR, or the number of rotations of a compressor's drive n. Perturbing influences are the calorific value of fuel (internal perturbation) and the thermal load of steam user (external perturbation). To control a technological section, a two-contour control system is applied with a stabilizing fuel flow regulator and an adjusting regulator of the superheated steam pressure (Fig. 1).

Based on studies that consider a probabilistic approach to the distribution of heat load [9], and research into control over of cogeneration plant [14], it is possible to record a system of linear differential equations with deviations for the controlled section. The system of equations also takes into account the features of the chosen regulation technique. Equation for a gas compressor and a section of the gas pipeline from it to the combustion chamber:

TGpAQAG + AQAG = TKA + kK M

(5)

Table 2 gives results of the calculation of ratio (4) for the average density (pNG=0.765 kg/m3) and the average natural gas heat release (QNHV=37 MJ/m3).

Equation for the steam pressure dependence in boiler drum Pb on the amount of heat, obtained by a water steam mixture, and steam flow rate to the consumer DSS:

Equation for a steam pipe from the boiler drum to the consumer:

TssaPss + aPss

where TSS is the inertia of a steam pipe, kSS, kSD are the transfer coefficients between a change in the pressure in the boiler drum and a change in the pressure and flow rate of the superheated steam, respectively.

Based on equations (5) - (10), it is possible to construct a parametric schematic of the controlled object (Fig. 2). The schematic shows that the major uncontrollable perturbation is a change in the calorific value of artificial gas AQCG and its density ApAG.

where CAC is the constant coefficient characterizing the mass accumulating capacity of a steam-water mixture and metal of the boiler's evaporation unit [11].

4. 3. Determining a structure of the communication device and structural circuit of control

The improved thermal load ACS of a drum boiler must ensure a smooth transition to the supply of artificial gas using a compressor when a fuel regulator maximally opens up the regulator. In this case, controlling signal from the fuel regulator, in accordance with which the displacement of the regulator previously occurred, must be changed. A change in the controlling signal using CD should not lead to a significant change in the properties of the object along the regulatory channel.

The ratio of two transfer functions that describe a change in the heat release in the furnace chamber depending on the location of R and performance efficiency of the compressor defines the type of a communication device. The resulting solution is therefore true when ACS manages only one drum boiler (Fig. 1).

Wcd(S ) =

QAG Kk

(11)

Given the low inertia of gas compressors and the section of a gas pipeline from the compressor to the burner, a transfer function of CD (11) can be simplified:

qNGK

wCD (S ) -cdK ' QAGKK

(12)

The simplified transfer function of CD is a proportional link. However, the existence in expression (12) of calorific values of natural and artificial gases imposes the following

constraints on the operation of such an ACS. The burners should be fed with only one type of artificial gas, or ACS should be supplemented with a device that determines chemical composition of the fuel combusted [11].

In the case when a technological section includes two and more drum boilers, part of them is set to the basic operation mode (boilers generate a constant amount of superheated steam). Another part works under regulating regime, maintaining constant pressure of the superheated steam in the common steam pipe [13]. The application, in this case, of an individual gas compressor for each boiler is not economically feasible. The solution might be to use one productive compressor, which should increase pressure of artificial gas in the common gas pipeline (Fig. 3). Compressor control mechanism (CCM) monitors the R position of the boiler that operates under regulating mode. In the case of full opening of R, CCM through the appropriate CD changes the setting of the gas pressure regulator in the gas pipeline for a smooth increase in the performance of the compressor. Based on (2), one may determine a functional dependence of changing a task for the gas pressure regulator:

APR = P| Q

kr j

(12)

where Q is the required flow rate of gas to the burners.

Since a rarefaction regulator maintains a constant flue gas pressure in the furnace chamber, APR at fully opened R will depend only on the gas pressure in the gas pipeline. Therefore, the desired dependence for assigning the signal to the pressure regulator will equal:

Zp (t ) = kQ2(t ).

(12)

Fig. 3. Schematic of ACS for a group of boilers

An increase in pressure in the common pipeline will make it possible to restore synchronously the overall performance of boilers, which operate under basic mode.

4. 4. Results of study of the synthesis of a multidimensional control system for a group of drum boilers that operate on artificial gas

A modern approach to the concept of automated control is related to considering a control object in the form of a complex dynamic system with a certain number of inputs and outputs. Calculation of the controlling influence is

performed with taking account of direct and cross linkages between controlling influences and adjustable parameters. In order to solve a problem on the multidimensional optimal control, in accordance with the specified quality criterion, one requires a mathematical model that would describe behavior of the group of N drum boilers connected to a common steam line. Linear differential equations (6)-(10) form subsystems of mathematical model with sets of matrices {A, Bi, Ci, D}. Numerical values of transfer coefficients and time constants of each subsystem account for the individual thermal and structural characteristics of each drum boiler. To obtain a generalized mathematical model, it is necessary to take into account a combined effect of change in the position of a separate regulator on the gas flow rate to other boilers.

fluence (position of R by the gas flow rate AhR and a change in the number of rotations of a compressor's drive An); f is the perturbation influence (a change in the density ApAG of calorific value of gas AQCG) (Fig. 2).

There are two possible solutions to the stated problem: a synthesis of the optimal state regulator with a static compensator of the measured perturbation, and the synthesis of optimal regulator with a dynamic compensator of the unmeasured perturbation.

The first solution can be obtained by minimizing the following quality criteria:

J=1 E{( 2i - y )TQ (2i - y)+uTRu}. (18)

2 i=0

AQAG = KCDAhR

(13)

where KCD is the coefficient of mutual influence of the control valves on the gas flow rate to each boiler, and steam generation by an individual boiler on the total pressure in a steam line

TssAPSS + APSS =Ksd £ADs ,

i=1

(14)

where KSD is the coefficient linking a change in the superheated steam pressure in the common steam line with a change in the steam generation by a separate boiler change ADi.

Thus, a mathematical model for a group of drum boilers, linearized in the vicinity of possible operating modes, can be represented by a system of matrix equations:

¡x = Ax + Bu + Ff; [y = Cx,

(15)

J = J( xTQx + uTRu) dt,

(16)

where Q and R are the weight matrices, mathematical model (15) is supplemented with a model of measuring transformers in the channels of control of the regulated parameters (inertial link of first order with a transport delay).

For the procedure of synthesis of a digital ACS, a mathematical model is converted from the continuous time scale to the discrete one. After the appropriate transform (A = eAM, B = A-1 ( A -1) B, F = A-1 ( A -1) F, C = C ), the system of equations (15) is represented by a system of difference equations with the corresponding period of discreteness At:

Xi+1 = AXi + Bu + Ff ; yt = Cx,,

where x{ is the vector of internal state of the system; y{ is the output vector (a change in the steam consumption ADSS for each boiler, a superheated steam pressure variance in the common steam line APSS); u{ is the change in controlling in-

Hence, the controlling influence is determined by the following relation

u■ =- Kx■ + K,f-,

i i fJ i'

(19)

where P = LQ2(A,B,CtQC,R) is the solution to the Riccati equation of second type, K = R~BTP is the regulator matrix, Kf = R-lBT [ A -1 - BK1 PF is the matrix of compensator of the measured perturbation (calorific value of artificial gas and its density) (Fig. 4).

where x is the vector of variables of internal states of the system; y is the vector of controlled parameters (output of the system), u is the vector of controlling influences, f is the vector of basic perturbations, A, B, C, D are the matrices of coefficients of the corresponding dimensionalities. For the synthesis of an optimal control system, which ensures a minimum of the assigned quality criterion of the form

Fig. 4. Structural circuit of the digital ACS with an optimal P-controller and compensators for the measured perturbations and setting

Numerical values for the coefficients of weight matrices Q and R are derived by iterative selection based on the results of modeling a closed-loop ACS.

A state observer matrix is determined by the following relation

L = PCTR

(19)

where LT = LQ2 (AT,CT,Q,R) is the solution to the Riccati equation of second type, Q and R are the singular matrices of corresponding dimensionality.

By defining new variables Aui = ui -ui1, e{ = (2-yt) (z is the setting signal), Si = [ei, Axi ] and, by minimizing the energy functional of the form:

(17) J = eTQei + auTiRaui},

(20)

it is possible to obtain a solution to the second problem in the form of the following dependence

Au =- Ke - K, ax ,

i 1 i 2 i'

which matches the structure of a discrete Pi-controller

U = -k1X ej - K2X (Fig. 5).

j=0

Since the equations in increments do not depend on vectors 2 and f, then, in order to restore the missing coordinates, it is possible to use an ordinary observer of the state

The implementation of the control circuit with a compensator for the measured perturbations requires a fast-speed technical device, which, based on a chemical analysis, determines the calorific value and density of the gas mixture [11].

5. Discussion of the method for constructing ACS of drum boilers using artificial gases as fuel

iНе можете найти то, что вам нужно? Попробуйте сервис подбора литературы.

The proposed technical solutions are universal for all types of drum boilers that use gaseous fuels. A circuit for controlling a group of drum boilers with a gas pressure regulator in the common pipeline makes it possible to preserve the independence of ACS over a separate boiler. However, oscillatory transient process of fuel pressure stabilization will exert a negative effect on pressure of the superheated steam in the common steam line. A multidimensional ACS lacks this shortcoming, but requires a reliable operation of all measuring transducers and controlling elements. In the process of stabilization of pressure of the superheated steam, a multidimensional ACS directly changes performance efficiency of the compressor. In this case, the R of the boiler, which operates under regulating mode, can be fully open. This position of R is similar to the mode of minimum throttling in a control system over the performance of feeding turbo pumps at AEP [15].

The need for direct measurement of the perturbing influences and the presence of a static error in control is the only drawback of ACS with an optimal multidimensional state regulator and a compensator for the measured perturbations

Quality indicator With a gas pressure regulator With a compensator for measured perturbation Optimal PI-controller

J = t yTQy. +uTRu, i=0 61.9 31.6 54.2

Jy = t yTQy, i=0 61.8 30.9 54.1

Ju =t ufRut ,=0 0.0866 0.730 0.0757

ACS with a compensator for the measured perturbation provides a value of the integrated criterion J that is almost twice less than ACS with an optimal PI-controller. However, the magnitude of part of the integral sum Ju, which takes into account a contribution of the controlling influence, is 9.6 times larger. Thus, in order to compensate for the sudden jump-type perturbations, ACS with a compensator requires a large and rapid change in the controlling action, which must be taken into consideration during its technical implementation.

6. Conclusions

1. It was established that one of the main constraints in the use of cheap fuel without a substantial modernization of the power equipment is the throughput of the regulatory element.

2. We defined the structure of a communication device between a heat load ACS and the control system over a gas compressor. Communication device is a proportional link whose transmission coefficient depends on the calorific value of natural and artificial gases. Therefore, the burners should be fed with only one type of artificial gas, or ACS should be supplemented with a device that determines chemical composition of the fuel burned.

3. It is shown that in terms of integrated indicators, a multidimensional optimal control system over a group of drum boilers has an advantage over a standard thermal load ACS. However, implementing a multidimensional control requires failure-free operation of all measuring transducers and controlling elements.
