Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Elektrofilters.The invention relates to a method for operating an electrostatic precipitator.

Elektrofilter finden in den vielfältigsten technischen Prozessen zur Entstaubung von Gasen Verwendung. Hierbei wird ein Paket von Abscheideelektroden im Gasstrom angeordnet. Zwischen diesen Abscheideelektroden werden vorzugsweise drahtförmige Sprühelektroden eingefügt, wobei zwischen den elektrisch jeweils parallel geschalteten Sprühelektroden einerseits und den Abscheideelektroden andererseits eine hohe Gleichspannung in der Größenordnung von etwa 50 KV angelegt wird. Hierdurch werden die Gasmoleküle ionisiert und geben sodann ihre Ladung an die im Gasstrom enthaltenen Staubpartikel ab, welche negativ aufgeladen werden und dadurch zu dem positiv geladenen Teil der Elektroden gezogen werden. Dort können sie durch Vibration oder durch Abstreifeinrichtungen gelöst werden und fallen sodann nach unten in eine Staubsammelvorrichtung.Electrostatic precipitators find in the most diverse technical processes for dedusting of gases use. This is a Package of deposition electrodes arranged in the gas stream. Between These deposition electrodes are preferably wire-shaped Inserted between the electrodes in each case parallel connected spray electrodes on the one hand and the precipitating electrodes on the other hand, a high DC voltage in the order of about 50 kV applied becomes. As a result, the gas molecules are ionized and give then their charge to the dust particles contained in the gas stream which are negatively charged and thereby to the positively charged part of the electrodes are pulled. There They can be made by vibration or by stripping devices be dissolved and then fall down in a dust collector.

Mit diesem Prinzip lassen sich die unterschiedlichsten Partikel aus den verschiedensten Gasströmen abscheiden, woraus allerdings je nach Einsatzfall stark schwankende Betriebsparameter für das Elektrofilter resultieren. Durch Feuerung unterschiedlicher Kohlesorten entstehen beispielsweise unterschiedliche Partikelmengen und Abgaseigenschaften in den Elektrofiltern. So wird z. B. zum Erreichen des geforderten Reingasstaubgehalts bei Kohlen mit niederohmigen Aschebestandteilen und hohen Aschegehalten erheblich höhere Energie im Elektrofilter benötigt als bei Kohlen mit geringem Ascheanteil.With this principle, the most diverse particles can be from the various gas streams, but from what depending on the application, highly fluctuating operating parameters result for the electrostatic precipitator. By firing different Coal types, for example, are different Particle quantities and exhaust gas properties in the electrostatic precipitators. So z. B. to achieve the required Clean dust content in coals with low-resistance ash constituents and high ash levels significantly higher energy needed in the electrostatic precipitator than in low-ash coals.

Bei den bisher bekannten Elektrofiltern ist eine sichere Einhaltung der Grenzwerte für die Partikelemission nur bei voller Leistung der Hochspannungsversorgung sichergestellt, der zu einem entsprechend hohen Energieverbrauch führt.In the previously known electrostatic filters is a safe compliance the limit values for the particle emission only at full Power of the high voltage supply ensured, the leads to a correspondingly high energy consumption.

Die bisher auch vorgenommene manuelle Einstellung der Geräte erfordert einen hohen Aufwand an geschultem Bedienpersonal. Auch eine an sich mögliche Überdimensionierung des Elektrofilters ist wegen der hiermit verbundenen nicht unbeträchtlichen Verteuerung des betreffenden industriellen Verfahrens nur begrenzt möglich. Die Feuerung nur bestimmter Kohlesorten führt dazu, dass Marktentwicklungen nicht voll ausgenutzt werden können.The hitherto also made manual adjustment of the devices requires a high amount of trained operators. Also an inherently possible oversizing of the electrostatic precipitator is not inconsiderable because of the associated Increased cost of the relevant industrial process only limited possible. The firing of only certain types of coal leads to market developments not fully exploited can be.

In der DE 42 22 069 A1 ist ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Elektrofilters sowie ein Elektrofilter zur Durchführung des Verfahrens beschrieben. Im bekannten Fall wird außerhalb der aktiven Abscheidezone des Elektrofilters, also entfernt von dem diese Abscheidezone bildenden elektrischen Hochspannungsfeld, eine Soll-Funkenstrecke betrieben, die ein weiteres elektrisches Hochspannungsfeld aufbaut. Die Soll-Funkenstrecke wird in einem Bereich betrieben, der staubfrei ist, aber ansonsten allen wesentlichen Betriebsparametern des Medienstroms unterliegt. Dadurch sollen einerseits Glimmbrände innerhalb des Elektrofilters vermieden werden, andererseits soll dadurch die Betriebsspannung des Elektrofilters immer möglichst nahe der Überschlagsgrenze gehalten werden.In DE 42 22 069 A1 discloses a method for operating a Electrostatic precipitator and an electrostatic filter to carry out the Procedure described. In the known case, outside the active separation zone of the electrostatic precipitator, so away from the high-voltage electric field forming this separation zone, operated a desired spark gap, which is another electrical High voltage field builds up. The desired spark gap is operated in an area that is dust-free, but otherwise all major operating parameters of the media stream subject. This should on the one hand smoldering fires within of the electrostatic precipitator are avoided, on the other hand should thereby always the operating voltage of the electrostatic precipitator be kept as close to the rollover limit.

Weiterhin ist in der DE 41 40 228 A1 ein Verfahren zur Entstaubung von Rauchgasen beschrieben. Bei diesem Verfahren wird ein Vergleich einer Soll-Istwertdifferenz mit im Voraus experimentell ermittelten Prozessparametern durchgeführt. Die experimentelle Ermittlung der Prozessparameter erfolgt hierbei in einem hinsichtlich Entstaubungsgrad und Wirkungsgrad optimalen Prozess. Durch das bekannte Verfahren soll ein möglichst effizienter Betrieb der Elektrofilter im ökologischen wie auch im ökonomischen Sinne erreicht werden.Furthermore, in DE 41 40 228 A1 a method for dedusting described by flue gases. In this process is a comparison of a reference actual value difference with in advance carried out experimentally determined process parameters. The Experimental determination of the process parameters takes place here in terms of dedusting and efficiency optimal process. By the known method a possible efficient operation of electrostatic precipitators in the ecological as well as achieved in the economic sense.

Aus US-A-4 432 061 ist ein Verfahren zum Betrieb von Elektrofiltern bekannt, wobei jedes Elektrofilter mit einem Microcomputersystem assoziert ist, welches mit einem Haupt computer gekoppelt ist. Dieser optimiert Strategien für die ganze Anordnung um eine optimale Effizienz zu erzielen. US-A-4 432 061 discloses a method of operating electrostatic precipitators. wherein each electrostatic precipitator is associated with a microcomputer system which coupled with a main computer. This optimizes strategies for the whole arrangement to achieve optimal efficiency.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Elektrofilters zu schaffen, das auf einfache Weise eine sichere Einhaltung der Grenzwerte für die Partikelemission gewährleistet.The object of the present invention is therefore a method to create an electrostatic precipitator on easy way to safely adhere to the limits for the Ensures particle emission.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved by a method according to claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments of the invention Methods are given in the subclaims.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Elektrofilters wird das reale Elektrofilter auf ein Filtermodell transformiert, das wenigstens eine Eingangszone, wenigstens eine Mittelzone und wenigstens eine Ausgangszone umfasst, wobei jeder der mindestens drei Modellzonen eine vorgebbare Charakteristik zugeordnet wird. Entsprechend dieser Charakteristik wird die Energiezufuhr für eine vorgebbare Anzahl dieser Modellzonen in Abhängigkeit vom Sollwert der Partikelemission geregelt.In the inventive method for operating an electrostatic precipitator the real electrostatic precipitator becomes a filter model transformed, the at least one input zone, at least a central zone and at least one exit zone, wherein each of the at least three model zones a predefinable Characteristic is assigned. According to this characteristic is the energy supply for a predetermined number of these Model zones depending on the set point of the particle emission regulated.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden Spitzenwerte, wie sie häufig bei der Plattenklopfung auftreten, begrenzt, so dass die sichere Einhaltung der vorgegebenen Grenzwerte gewährleistet ist. Durch die Transformation des realen Elektrofilters auf ein Filtermodell, welches wenigstens eine Eingangszone, wenigstens eine Mittelzone und wenigstens eine Ausgangszone umfasst, ist das Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 auf beliebige Anordnungen von Elektrofiltern anwendbar. Jede der drei Modellzonen wird hierbei eine bestimmte Charakteristik zugeordnet. Entsprechend dieser Charakteristik wird die Energiezufuhr für eine vorgebbaren Anzahl dieser Modellzonen in Abhängigkeit vom Sollwert der Partikelemission geregelt.In the method according to the invention are peak values, such they often occur in plate tapping, so limited that ensures the safe compliance with the specified limits is. Through the transformation of the real electrostatic filter to a filter model which has at least one entrance zone, at least one middle zone and at least one Exit zone comprises, the method of claim 1 on any arrangements of electrostatic filters applicable. Each of the Three model zones will have a certain characteristic assigned.

FIG 1 zeigt in einem Diagramm den prinzipiellen Verlauf der Staubpartikelemission in Abhängigkeit von der Stromstärke, die einem Elektrofilter zugeführt wird. Durch Änderung im Produktionsprozess können sich die Abgaseigenschaften ändern, so dass sich die im Beispiel gezeigte Kurve quantitativ ändert.1 shows a diagram of the basic course of Dust particle emission as a function of the current intensity, which is fed to an electrostatic precipitator. By change in the Production process can change the exhaust gas properties, so that the curve shown in the example changes quantitatively.

In FIG 2 ist mit 1 ein sechsstufiges reales Elektrofilter bezeichnet, das erfindungsgemäß auf ein Filtermodell 2 transformiert wird. Die Transformation ist in FIG 2 durch einen Doppelpfeil symbolisiert. Das Filtermodell 2 umfasst im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Eingangszone 2a, eine Mittelzone 2b und eine Ausgangszone 2c.2, 1 designates a six-stage real electrostatic precipitator, which according to the invention is transformed to a filter model 2 becomes. The transformation is shown in FIG. 2 by a Double arrow symbolizes. The filter model 2 comprises in the illustrated Embodiment an entrance zone 2a, a Center zone 2b and an exit zone 2c.

Der Eingangszone 2a, der die Stufen 1a und 1b des realen Filters entsprechen, weist eine hohe, inhomogene Staubkonzentration im Abgas auf. Die Aufladung möglichst vieler Partikel wirkt sich günstig auf die Wirksamkeit der Mittelzone 2b und der Ausgangszone 2c aus.The entrance zone 2a, which contains the steps 1a and 1b of the real filter correspond, has a high, inhomogeneous dust concentration in the exhaust. Charging as many particles as possible Affects the effectiveness of the middle zone 2b and the exit zone 2c.

In der Mittelzone 2b, die aus den Stufen 1c und 1d des realen Filters 1 gebildet wird, weist eine deutlich geringere Staubkonzentration (ca. 1/20) auf. In der mittleren Zone 2b kann in seltenen Fällen ein Rücksprühen auftreten. Unter Rücksprühen versteht man das Ende des linearen Spannungsanstiegs trotz Erhöhung der Stromstärke.In the middle zone 2b, consisting of the stages 1c and 1d of the real Filter 1 is formed, has a significantly lower dust concentration (about 1/20). In the middle zone 2b can In rare cases, a re-spraying occur. Under re-spray one understands the end of the linear voltage rise despite increasing the current.

In der Ausgangszone 2c, die aus den Stufen le und lf des realen Filters 1 gebildet wird, ist ein hoher Anteil an feinen Staubpartikeln vorhanden. Aufgrund des hochohmigen Staubbelags an den Platten tritt häufiger ein Rücksprühen auf. Der Emissionswert reagiert sensibel auf Plattenklopfung.In the exit zone 2c, consisting of the stages le and lf of the real Filter 1 is formed, is a high proportion of fine Dust particles present. Due to the high-resistance dust cover the plates are more likely to be re-sprayed. Of the Emission value is sensitive to plate knocking.

Nach Modifikationen im Betrieb, z. B. durch Änderung der Stromzufuhr, in einer Zone müssen alle nachfolgenden Zonen neu adaptiert werden.After modifications in operation, eg. B. by changing the Power supply, in one zone must all subsequent zones be adapted again.

Für die Transformation des realen Elektrofilters auf ein Filtermodell wird zumindest einer der folgenden Parameter berücksichtigt:

  • Istwert und Sollwert des Filterstromes,
  • Istwerte, Minimalwerte, Maximalwerte und Mittelwerte der Filterspannung,
  • elektrische Leistung,
  • Betriebsart (kontinuierlicher Betrieb oder Pulsbetrieb) und/oder
  • falls Pulsbetrieb aktiv - wenigstens ein Pulsmuster.
  • For the transformation of the real electrostatic filter to a filter model at least one of the following parameters is considered:
  • Actual value and nominal value of the filter current,
  • Actual values, minimum values, maximum values and average values of the filter voltage,
  • electrical power,
  • Operating mode (continuous operation or pulsed operation) and / or
  • if pulse mode is active - at least one pulse pattern.
  • Im Gasstrom parallele Modellzonen werden zunächst mit identischen Sollwerten versorgt. Bei der Feinoptimierung werden die Gewichtungsfaktoren für die parallelen Modellzonen bestimmt. Bei seriellen Modellzonen wird eine lineare Interpolation der Parameter, insbesondere der Istwerte, verwendet. Auch hier sind unterschiedliche Gewichtungen der einzelnen Modellzonen denkbar.In the gas flow parallel model zones are initially identical with Supplied nominal values. In the fine optimization, the Weighting factors for the parallel model zones determined. For serial model zones, a linear interpolation of the Parameter, in particular the actual values used. Here too are different weights of the individual model zones conceivable.

    Die Wahl der Betriebsart bei der Rücktransformation vom Filtermodell 2 in das reale Filter 1 hängt von der errechneten Stärke des Rücksprühens in den korrespondierenden Modellzonen ab.The choice of operating mode for the inverse transformation of the filter model 2 in the real filter 1 depends on the calculated Strength of re-spraying in the corresponding model zones from.

    Im aktuellen Betriebspunkt des realen Elektrofilters 1 werden für die drei Modellzonen 2a, 2b und 2c die Gradienten der Emission (oder der Opazität) über der elektrischen Teil-Leistung gebildet. Dazu muss die elektrische Leistung in allen Zonen nacheinander um den aktuellen Betriebspunkt geringfügig variiert werden. Die Gradienten der drei Modellzonen sind ein Maß für den Einfluss einer Modellzone bei Änderung der elektrischen Leistung auf die Partikelemission. Nun werden die Leistungssollwerte der Modellzonen 2a, 2b und 2c so optimiert, dass alle drei Gradienten gleich groß sind und der gewünschte Emissionswert genau erreicht wird. In diesem Betriebspunkt wird das Elektrofilter mit der minimalen möglichen Leistung betrieben, bei der der vorgeschriebene oder gewünschte Emissionswert gerade erreicht wird.In the current operating point of the real electrostatic precipitator 1 will be for the three model zones 2a, 2b and 2c, the gradients of the emission (or opacity) over the partial electrical power educated. This requires the electric power in all Zones one after the other at the current operating point slightly be varied. The gradients of the three model zones are one Measure of the influence of a model zone when changing the electrical Power on the particle emission. Now the Power setpoints of model zones 2a, 2b and 2c optimized so that all three gradients are the same size and the desired Emission value is reached exactly. At this operating point becomes the electrostatic filter with the minimum possible Power operated at the prescribed or desired Emission value is just reached.

    Zur gezielten Suche des optimalen Betriebspunktes hat sich der Einsatz von Fuzzy-Logik bewährt. Der Einsatz von anderen Methoden, wie z. B. neuronale Netze oder konventionelle Suchalgorithmen, sind hier ebenfalls möglich. Aufgrund der schnellen Realisierbarkeit und der verwendeten abstrakten Regeln sowie der daraus gewonnenen Übertragbarkeit auf andere reale Elektrofilter ist der Fuzzy-Logik der Vorzug zu geben. Ein weiterer Vorteil bei der Verwendung von Fuzzy-Logik ist die einfache Realisierbarkeit unsymmetrischer Regler durch Änderung der Zugehörigkeitsfunktionen eines Signals. Ein Anstieg der Emissionen erfordert eine schnelle starke Reaktion des Systems wegen der Gefahr von Grenzwertüberschreitungen, wohingegen bei Verringerung der elektrischen Leistung erheblich mehr Zeit zur Verfügung steht. Durch die Verwendung von Fuzzy-Logik wird also die Betriebssicherheit erhöht.For a specific search of the optimal operating point has become proven the use of fuzzy logic. The use of others Methods, such. Neural networks or conventional search algorithms, are also possible here. Due to the fast realizability and the used abstract rules as well as the resulting transferability to others real electrostatic precipitators are preferred to fuzzy logic. Another advantage of using fuzzy logic is the simple realizability of unbalanced controllers Change the membership functions of a signal. An increase Emissions require a fast, strong reaction the system because of the risk of exceeding the limit value, whereas significantly reducing electrical power more time is available. By the use of Fuzzy logic thus increases the reliability.

    Als Istwerte werden außer dem Mittelwert der Partikelemission auch die Spitzenwerte und die Augenblickswerte verwendet. Die Betrachtung der aktuellen Werte ermöglicht eine schnelle Reaktion auf ansteigende Werte aufgrund von unvorhersehbaren Prozessänderungen (z. B. Rußblasen). Die Überwachung der Maxima verhindert unerwünschte bzw. unerlaubte Emissionsspitzenwerte auch bei periodischen bzw. wiederkehrenden Vorgängen (z. B. Plattenklopfung).The actual values are the mean value of the particle emission also uses the peak values and the instantaneous values. The Viewing the current values allows a quick response on rising values due to unpredictable Process changes (eg sootblowing). Monitoring the maxima prevents unwanted or unauthorized emission peaks even with periodic or recurring events (eg plate knocking).

Über den optischen Profibus 5 sind damit die Hochspannungsversorgung 3 sowie die Hochspannungsversorgungen 41, 42, 43, 44 und 45 über ihre Kontrolleinrichtungen 3K sowie 41K, 42K, 43K, 44K und 45K miteinander verbunden.

The energy management runs on a personal computer 6, which is shown in the Exemplary embodiment under the operating system Windows NT® is operated. Within the scope of the invention is also the use on an automation system, eg. Eg Simatic® S7.

    Die einzelnen Hochspannungsversorgungen enthalten einen Satz von Parametern, der bei Verlust der Datenkommunikation aktiviert wird. Hier kann z. B. Betrieb mit Nennstrom hinterlegt werden. Bei Überschreitung der Emissionswerte um einen vorgebbaren Wert, wird bei allen Hochspannungsversorgungen eine Stromerhöhung bewirkt, unabhängig von der laufenden Optimierung. In einer zweiten Stufe kann bei einer weiter ansteigenden Partikelemission bei allen Hochspannungsversorgungen der Nennstrom aktiviert werden.The individual high voltage supplies contain a set of parameters that activates upon loss of data communication becomes. Here can z. B. Operation with nominal current deposited become. If the emission values are exceeded by a predefinable Value becomes one for all high voltage supplies Current increase causes, regardless of the ongoing optimization.
