Definitions
- the invention relates to operating a heat releasing reactor.
- combustion boilers such as grate boilers and fluidized bed boilers are commonly utilized to generate steam which can be used for variety of purposes, such as for producing electricity and heat.
- a fluidized bed boiler fuel and solid particulate bed material is introduced into a furnace.
- the bed material and fuel is fluidized by introducing fluidizing gas from a bottom portion of the furnace. Burning of fuel takes place in the furnace.
- fluidization gas is passed through the bed such that it forms bubbles in the bed.
- the fluidized bed can in a BFB be rather conveniently controlled by controlling the fluidization gas feed and fuel feed.
- certain additives such as aluminum silicates (such as, non-hydrated clay) and alkali alkaline earth metal carbonates and mixtures thereof (such as, limestone or calcium carbonate) may be added to the combustion to improve sorption of possible heavy metals, sulfur, and also to improve alkali sorption.
- fluidization gas is passed through the bed material.
- Most bed particles will be entrained in the fluidization gas and they will be carried with flue gas.
- the particles are separated from the flue gas in at least one particle separator and circulated returning them back into the furnace. It is common to arrange a fluidized bed heat exchanger downstream the particle separator(s) to recover heat from the particles before they are returned into the furnace.
- combustion conditions such as, the mixing of air and fuel, may not be ideal.
- Improbed AB discloses a thermal load control method for a combustion boiler.
- the thermal load of a combustion boiler is reduced if monitored flue gas velocity in at least one location of the boiler exceeds a pre-determined maximum flue gas velocity limit.
- the flue gas velocity is computed from volume flow of flue gas divided by the cross- sectional area of the flue gas duct in the location just downstream the cyclone using an equation group.
- a heat releasing reactor is designed for a given capacity that is the respective maximum continuous rating (MCR) of the reactor. This is sometimes called the design load level.
- MCR maximum continuous rating
- a further objective of the invention is to reduce complexity of control system of a combustion boiler. This objective can be met with a reactor computation system according to claim 24.
- the dependent claims describe advantageous aspects of the method, of the reactor, and of the computation system.
- the method of operating a heat releasing reactor producing product gas comprises the steps of a) monitoring the current load Q h of the reactor; b) finding such a numerical value for a current computational maximum momentary load for which at least one product gas factor computed using currently monitored process data with a numerical model of the reactor fulfills an acceptance condition, and selecting the numerical value as the current computational maximum momentary load Qh,max; c) indicating the current computational maximum momentary load Qh,max to the operator and/or, if the current load Q h is cl) smaller than the current computational maximum momentary load: cli) indicating the operator that the load may be increased, and/or clii) automatically increasing the load, and/or c2) larger than the current computational maximum momentary load: c2i) indicating the operator that the load Q h exceeds the current computational maximum momentary load, and/or c2ii) automatically reducing the load Qh.
- the method instead of having a fixed maximum load, with the method of computing the product gas factor and selecting its acceptance conditions suitably, it is possible to safely operate the reactor at or closer to its current computational maximum momentary load that at times may be higher than the fixed maximum load would be.
- the current computational maximum momentary load can be higher than the design load level. Therefore, the overall performance of the reactor may be improved enabling increased power/heat production. Further, since the current computational maximum momentary load may occasionally be smaller than the design load level, wear of the reactor resulting from exceeding the current computational maximum momentary load may be better reduced. In other terms, the current computational maximum momentary load can be considered as maximum allowable load and/or preferable load.
- the applicant has been able to obtain, in the tests performed with a boiler, in average, power output from a combustion boiler that exceeds the fixed boiler maximum load.
- the applicant could in the tests demonstrate that for a combustion boiler the improvement potential may be between 2,5 - 5% which corresponds, for example, 3 to 6 MWth for a 120 MWth combustion boiler.
- the currently monitored process data of the reactor includes ia) current product gas exit temperature in a product gas flow channel and ib) heat duty for each heat transfer surface in the product gas flow channel and further: ii) monitored process data from both steps ia) and ib) is used in computation of the product gas factor and when finding the numerical value for the current computational maximum momentary load Qh,max.
- Computation of heat duty of a heat exchanger is known for skilled person in the art and heat duty can be obtained, for instance, by using the following equation
- Q fluid,i q m,fluid,i *(h fluid,out - h fluid,in )' wherein q mi fi U id,i is the fluid flow in ith heat transfer surface, h fiuid,in is the enthalpy of fluid entering to the ith heat transfer surface and h fiuid,out is the enthalpy of fluid exiting from the ith heat transfer surface.
- the finding may be performed such that, if the at least one product gas factor computed using currently monitored process data with a numerical model of the reactor fails to fulfill an acceptance condition, a next numerical value is automatically selected.
- the next numerical value is selected iteratively. This may enable the use of computational library functions, and, in particular of an iterative solver (such as, Python FSOLVE function which solves roots of function).
- the finding may be carried out with performing the computational steps of:
- the fitting of the parameters ( ⁇ j,i ) can be done manually by human or automatically by computer utilizing historical data. Automatic update of the parameters may be done e.g. once per month. AI and neural network based algorithms can be utilized in automatic update.
- the p d f i l d i where k i is a non-zero parameter that may be chosen combustion- boiler specifically, preferably positive (non-zero) number q m,product gas is a product gas mass flow n is a model parameter that may be chosen reactor- specifically, being preferably positive (non-zero) number ⁇ productgas,i is the density of the product gas at the i th heat transfer surface; and A cross,i is the cross-sectional area of the gas flow path at the i th heat transfer surface.
- the model parameter n may be selected to include at least one of the following: in the range of 0,9 to 1,1, preferably about 1.0, for using computed product gas velocity; ii) in the range of 2,9 to 3,5, preferably between 3,2 and 3,35, for using computed product gas caused erosion; or iii) in the range of 1,8 to 2,2, preferably about 2.0, for using pressure loss of the product gas flow.
- the value for n may be changed over time.
- the comparison between the product gas factor dfi and a predetermined maximum value for the product gas factor df max,i can be carried out for each heat transfer surface.
- the acceptance condition is substantially
- the comparison can be done between the sum of the flue gas factors d fi and sum of the predetermined product gas factors df max,i or simply predetermined product gas factor represents total pressure drop and hence the comparison represents the comparison of total pressure drops between the reactor and stack.
- the product gas factor represents an particle loading factor and can be written in the form where k Ph is particle hardness factor, C(d) is particle diameter function, q m _ fa is particle mass flow rate, v p is particle velocity and n is exponent (0,3 - 4).
- the predetermined product gas factor represents maximum particle loading value. It can also be adjustable based on the particle properties (softness, etc.).
- the reactor is a fluidized bed (FB) reactor, such as a FB boiler or FB gasifier
- the product gas factor represents an ash loading factor and can be written in the form where k Ph is particle hardness factor, C(d) is particle diameter function, q m-fa is fly ash mass flow rate, v p is particle velocity and n is exponent (0,3 - 4).
- the predetermined flue gas factor represents maximum ash loading value. It can also be adjustable based on the ash properties (softness, etc.).
- the numerical value Qh,candidate is selected as the current computational maximum momentary load Qh,max•
- the summation index i goes over all of the heat transfer surfaces.
- the summation index i goes over only a part of the heat transfer surfaces, preferably in a product gas channel.
- n is determined from a group of reactors comprising at least two separate reactors using operational data monitored for each of the reactor. Using a larger number of reactors (two, three, four, ...) gives a larger data set. Hence, there will be more operational data monitored. This may produce better results, which may be especially good in a situation where the determination uses interpolation and/or extrapolation of experimental data.
- the product gas exit temperature may be substantially estimated by equation or preferably its first, second, or third (or higher) degree approximation.
- the coefficients ⁇ may be obtained by fitting after measuring product gas exit values for a number of discrete reactor load values. This data may be collected over time and refreshed from time to time, such as, periodically. Alternatively, or in addition, it may be collected in one or more calibration runs of the reactor.
- the fitting of the coefficients (a) can be done manually by human or automatically by computer utilizing historical data. Automatic update of the coefficients may be done e.g. once per month. Al and neural network based algorithms can be utilized in automatic update.
- the product gas exit temperature may be substantially estimated by utilizing artificial intelligence tools.
- the product gas exit temperature may be substantially estimated by utilizing neural network.
- the product gas exit temperature may be estimated by equation wherein ⁇ 0, ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 can be predefined constants.
- the fitting of the coefficients (a) can be done manually by human or automatically by computer utilizing historical data. Automatic update of the coefficients may be done e.g. once per month. Al and neural network based algorithms can be utilized in automatic update.
- oq term may be solved based on the current state values wherein T G,exit current represents measured product gas exit temperature.
- step II the product gas mass flow is computed using reactor mass and energy balance equations.
- the computation of product gas mass flow may include taking into account gas-specific mass flow of components of the product gas.
- the components comprise CO 2 , H 2 O, N 2 , SO 2 , O 2 .
- the concentration of these components can be measured reliably with rather simple equipment.
- the component values may include reactant parameters. This enables reflecting changes in the reactant properties. For example, for reactants that tend to cause more erosion, the acceptance condition may be stricter, while leaner acceptance condition may be used for reactants that tend to cause less erosion.
- the step b) may be performed remotely to the reactor, preferably in a cloud-based computation service. This helps to simplify the maintenance of the combustion boiler, since the remote computation equipment, such as configured to run the cloud-based computation service, can be maintained separately from the combustion boiler.
- the computational software updates for example, can thus be performed centrally at one or a few locations, instead of updating software at each reactor.
- the step b) may be performed locally at the site of the reactor, preferably by an edge server. This may speed up the computation since no data needs to be transferred to a remote computation location.
- any of the currently monitored process data and/or current load may be obtained from real-time measurements. Instead of this, or in addition to it, the currently monitored process data and/or current load may be treated by filtering, treated by averaging, computing trends or any combination of these. This helps to avoid noise or outlier measurements to impact the outcome of the computation, and thus facilitates to increase stability of the current computational maximum momentary load.
