Description

[0001] Combustion gas measurement system with automatic alignment function for beam [0002]

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a combustion gas measuring system having an automatic light alignment function, for example, by recognizing a traveling direction of a laser on the basis of a vector value through image information about a laser traveling direction in a combustion chamber, To a combustion gas measurement system having an automatic photo-alignment function capable of automatically aligning the laser emission direction of the laser emission part.

Much of the electricity produced in the United States is produced by coal-fired power plants. Globally, much of the electricity production is similarly dependent on coal, which is the main energy source. Given the long-term environmental problems associated with waste generated by nuclear power generation and the inefficiency associated with solar power generation, it is likely that coal will remain a major energy source in the near future. Also, the enormous global coal reserves are enough to produce energy for at least 200 years, even at the current rate.

However, there has been and continues to be a strong need to reduce the emission of pollutants associated with coal-fired power generation and to improve the overall efficiency of coal-fired power generation processes. Traditionally, in power plants and other industrial combustion facilities, the efficiency of the combustion process and the degree of pollutant release are measured indirectly by measuring the collected gas sample with a technique such as NDIR photometry Respectively. The sampling system is not suitable for closed-loop control of the combustion process, as there may be a significant delay between the gas sampling time and the final analysis time. Also, since the sampling process is generally a one-point measurement, the results are very variable and may or may not represent the actual concentration of the measured material in the dynamic combustion chamber.

Laser based optical component sensors have recently attracted attention in connection with extraction measurement technology. Laser-based measurement techniques have the advantage of being able to perform immediate field measurements and provide high-speed feedback suitable for dynamic process control. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (hereinafter referred to as TDLAS) is a very promising technique for measuring the combustion parameters such as the composition of the combustion gas, the temperature, and the like. TDLAS typically uses diode lasers that operate in the near-infrared and mid-infrared spectral regions. Suitable lasers have been extensively developed for use in the telecommunications industry. The lasers can therefore be used immediately for TDLAS applications. Since the invention of wavelength tunable diode lasers, several TDLAS techniques have been developed to sense and control the combustion process.

For example, wavelength modulation spectroscopy techniques, frequency modulation spectroscopy techniques, and direct absorption spectroscopy techniques are generally known. These techniques are based on the fact that the intensity of the laser light received by the detector is inversely proportional to the concentration of the gas when the laser light with wavelengths that can be absorbed by the gases in the combustion chamber is absorbed in the specific spectral band as it passes through the combustion chamber . The absorption spectrum received by the detector is used to determine the amount of gas component being analyzed in addition to the associated combustion parameters such as temperature.

For example, U.S. patent application 2002 / 0031737A1 (Von Drasek et al.) Describes a method and apparatus using a tunable diode laser for monitoring and / or controlling high temperature processes. This patent is characterized by the use of direct absorption spectroscopy techniques to determine the relative concentration, temperature and other parameters of a large number of combustion components.

U.S. Patent No. 5,813,767 describes a similar system for monitoring combustion and contaminants in a combustion chamber. This US patent uses an indirect spectroscopy technique that uses Doppler broadening in the shape of the observed absorption properties as the basis for temperature analysis.

Teichert, Fernholz, and Ebert extended the TDLAS as a laboratory analysis technique to a feasible field technology capable of measuring specific combustion parameters in boiler fuels of actual coal power plants. (Applied Optics, 42 (12): 2043, 20 April 2003), entitled " Simultaneous in situ Measurement of CO, H2O, Gas Temperature in a Full-Sized, Coal-Fire Power Plant, The authors demonstrate the successful implementation of direct absorption spectroscopy techniques in coal-fired power plants and discuss the technical challenges resulting from the very large and violent nature of the coal combustion process. In particular, the combustion chamber of a conventional coal-fired power plant has a diameter of 10 to 20 m. These thermal power plants are pulverized coal, so the combustion process is difficult to transfer laser light due to the large amount of dust, and emits light of very different wavelengths.

Also, under the combustion conditions of the power plant, various strong disturbances are found. The overall light transmission rate through the combustion chamber will vary dramatically over time as a result of broadband absorption, scattering by particles, or beam steering due to variations in reflectivity. There is also intense thermal radiation from burnt coal particles that can interfere with the detector signal. In addition, the external environment of the power plant boiler also poses a problem in the implementation of the TDLAS detection or control system. For example, electronic components, optical components, or other sensitive spectroscopic technology components should be located far from strong heat, or properly shielded or cooled. Although TDLAS systems are very difficult to run under these conditions, TDLAS is best suited for monitoring and controlling the coal combustion process.

Korean Patent No. 10-1072657 discloses a sensing device for solving problems of TDLAS implementation.

The sensing device is connected to the outgoing optics with one or more diode lasers having a constant oscillation frequency for use in simultaneous measurements of high temperature and gas concentration. The outgoing optics are operatively connected to a processor chamber, such as a combustion chamber or a boiler of a coal or gas-fired power plant, and the processor chamber is coupled to a receiving optics that is in optical communication with the outgoing optics and that receives the multiplexed laser output fired through the processor room do. Here, a sending side alignment mechanism for focusing the light by adjusting the output direction of light is connected to the sending optical unit, and a receiving side alignment mechanism for maximizing the light collecting efficiency is connected to the receiving optical unit so as to adjust the optical unit.

However, the conventional sensing apparatus is installed in a state in which the receiving portion of the laser is exposed to a high-temperature environment such as the inside of the combustion chamber, and accordingly, additional equipment for protecting the receiving portion is required, or when the lifetime of the receiving portion is shortened Lt; / RTI >

Also, since the output direction of the laser can be adjusted on the condition that the laser is received in the receiving part of the laser, the alignment function for the emitting part is performed when the emitting part is positioned in a state in which the laser is not received by the receiving part And a phenomenon such as not being able to be performed.
