Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a combustion process, in particular in a combustion chamber of a fossil-fired steam generator, in which spatially resolved measured values are determined in the combustion chamber.
- the invention further relates to a corresponding combustion system.
- the fuel is first treated (for example, grinding the coal in the coal mill, preheating the fuel oil, or the like) and then supplied with the combustion air controlled by the combustion air according to the current heat demand of the system.
- the introduction of the fuel into the combustion chamber takes place at various points of the steam generator on the so-called burners. Also, the supply of air takes place at various points. At the burners themselves always takes place an air supply. In addition, there may be feeds of air at locations where no fuel is flowing into the furnace.
- the fuel mass flow supplied is measured as the speed of the distributor belt, with which the coal is conveyed to the coal mill.
- the exact distribution of the coal flow to the burners powered by this mill is often not recorded. It is therefore assumed that each burner carries a fixed share of the fuel mass flow and adjusts the combustion air accordingly.
- there are different measuring systems, with the help of the coal flows of the individual burners can be detected.
- a more precise air control, in which the air mass flow per burner is adapted to the corresponding coal mass flow, is thus made possible.
- Oxygen concentration in the flue gas detected by grid measurements at the boiler outlet. To a limited extent, conclusions can be drawn about the spatial distribution of process variables in the combustion process.
- controllers which then determine necessary manipulated variable changes.
- controller outputs are distributed to the existing actuators, with an inverse transformation of the controller outputs to the existing actuators, since the result of the controller outputs must be adapted to the system.
- the invention thus uses an improved detection of the current state of Feuerungsreaen by the use of at least one measurement technique with spatially resolving detection range for the quantitative determination of the combustion products after combustion inside the technical furnace for a differentiated and faster
- An essential advantage of the invention is that the complex measured value distributions of the spatially resolving measuring technique can be processed by the transformation to simple state or controlled variables using conventional controllers. Furthermore, it is achieved by the inverse transformation that the output signals of the conventional controllers are distributed according to a predetermined optimization target to the existing control variables. Thus, an optimal interaction between the newly defined control concepts and the installed complex measuring technology is achieved. In particular, however, as a result of the so-improved control structures, a combustion process that is as efficient as possible, low-wear and proceeds with the lowest possible emissions is realized.
- the state variables are determined on the basis of statistical information of the spatially resolved measured values. This has the advantage that here the enormous diversity of information about the existing example, temperature or concentration distributions can be compacted. Weighting can be introduced and other image processing methods used. Another advantage is that in this way process variables are created with which the combustion process can be described and regulated.
- the distribution of the controller outputs on the actuators is in a variant with the help of a neural
- control interventions can also be finely adjusted using the neural network. This achieves a particularly intelligent and exact control which is robust against the variation of external influences, e.g. variable fuel quality.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram for clarifying the combustion control according to the invention.
- the combustion chamber FR of a power plant or of another technical installation in which a combustion process takes place is equipped with a spatially resolving measuring system (designated MS in the figure).
- MS spatially resolving measuring system
- These can be any measuring systems with the aid of which measuring data from the indirect combustion. Examples of such measuring systems are:
- laser beams are directed through the firebox on photodetectors.
- the spectral analysis of the laser beam emerging from the combustion chamber again provides information about the combustion itself due to the absorption of certain wavelengths. If the laser beams are sent in lattice form on several paths through the combustion chamber, the measurement information can be spatially resolved.
- Decisive in the selection of the measurement technique is that it is suitable for determining essential properties of the combustion with spatial resolution. Measurements are carried out, for example, on a cross section of the combustion chamber near the combustion process. The measured values characterize combustion based on properties such as local concentrations (CO, 02, C02, H20, ...) and temperature.
- these data which are identified by M measured values MW in the figure, are converted in a first step into state variables that can be used in terms of control technology.
- the spatial information about the combustion chamber is mapped to individual key figures and thus condensed. For the derivation of the different state variables from the spatial measurement information, the following points are typically evaluated:
- an optimization target can be defined as a setpoint.
- these state variables characterizing in connection with conventional, process control-available instrumentation and process information the current operating state of the combustion ⁇ process.
- variable transformation VT converts any desired number of M measured values MW into an arbitrary number of N controlled variables RG, where M and N represent natural numbers and N is usually smaller than M.
- the control variables RG are state variables which are then used as actual values for individual controllers.
- the N controlled variables are fed to N regulators R.
- the control module which contains a subtractor and further control technology components such as a PI controller.
- This is a conventional control module that may already be present in the technical system to be controlled. It can also be a multi-variable control module, depending on the design variant.
- the control block considered here also has an input ESW for the desired value of the derived state variable. This is either specified manually, is given constant or load-dependent and should characterize the desired operating behavior.
- ESW input ESW for the desired value of the derived state variable. This is either specified manually, is given constant or load-dependent and should characterize the desired operating behavior.
- another input EPG for any other process variables PG which are detected outside of the spatially resolving measuring system.
- the control difference between see the setpoint and actual value is formed, the control difference by the other process variables varies, for example, to adjust the controller gain as a function of the current load situation, and the existing controller (here PI controller) supplied, the necessary Control value changes are determined.
- This signal is present at the output ARA of the controller.
- control outputs RA there are N controllers, there are N values for the control outputs RA (see figure). It is then necessary, in a back transformation RT, to convert these signals RA, designated as control outputs, of the number N such that a certain number of K actuators each receive the actuating signal which is necessary to achieve the control target.
- the control outputs RA of the N controllers R must now be used to derive control interventions for various actuators with which the combustion process can be favorably influenced. In this case, a control intervention can be made on a plurality of actuators in differentiated strength.
- Actuators are, for example, the openings of air flaps arranged in the combustion space.
- Controller outputs to the existing control variables it is particularly advantageous that the distribution of the controller outputs is performed on the actuators in an optimal manner, so that, for example, a minimization of emissions can take place and at the same time the highest possible efficiency of the system is achieved.
- the optimizer can also obtain measurement results of the spatially resolving measuring devices arranged in the combustion chamber.
- a number M' of the spatially resolved measured values is converted into any number N 'of state variables which are fed to the optimizer OPT.
- N 'of state variables which are fed to the optimizer OPT.
- the optimizer OPT may be connected to a neural network NN.
- a hybrid control structure of conventional control blocks and neural networks is achieved.
- the neural network is trained with process measures and serves as a specific model for predicting the behavior of the furnace.
- An iterative optimization algorithm determines the optimum distribution of the control actions on the actuators as well as correction values for the actuators based on the firing reaction predicted by the neural network. This optimizes the process according to a given target function.
- the optimization values OW can, for example, also be trim factors.
- the trimming factors By means of the trimming factors, the results of the inverse transformation RT are weighted, shifted and adjusted in accordance with the optimization process in accordance with the desired control target.
- a total variable size calculation GSB for the existing K actuators takes place.
- the different control interventions on different actuators of different identified setpoint deviations are superimposed additively to a total control intervention for each actuator.
- K manipulated variable changes ST are forwarded to the individual actuators, such as air dampers or fuel supply devices.
