Essay

This dissertation focuses on enhancing methods and models in a computer-integrated system for monitoring the wear of heat exchange tubes in solid fuel steam generators at coal-powered thermal power plants, particularly when dealing with coal of unknown ash composition. It uses current coal quality data for measuring solid mineral impurities and provides various control loops like coal flow distribution and quality checks to minimize costs. Key findings include: 1. Global Coal Industry Complexities: The industry faces challenges like varying coal quality, pricing, and environmental concerns, with developing countries heavily reliant on coal. Transitioning to sustainable energy is difficult due to these diversities. 2. Efficiency in Coal-Fired Power Plants: Efficient power generation hinges on accurately identifying fuel composition and strategizing against damage from refractory compounds in the steam generator's heat exchange tubes. Current analysis methods are insufficient, underscoring the need for advanced diagnostic technologies. 3. Coal Preparation Process Management: A computer-aided automated system enhances efficiency, environmental sustainability, and stability. Accurate coal sampling and quality control are crucial, with fuzzy control algorithms offering operational improvements. 4. Coal Quality and Plant Efficiency: High-quality coal, precise sampling, and advanced diagnostics are vital. Innovations in monitoring and new technologies enhance efficiency, safety, and durability. 5. Adaptive Monitoring of Tube Wear: Real-time, adaptive approaches are essential for monitoring heat exchange tube wear in steam generators, as existing methods are inefficient. The dissertation comprises four chapters: 1. First Chapter: It examines the use of computer-integrated control systems (CICS) for monitoring tube wear in drum steam generators at thermal power plants (TPP). It highlights the industry's complexities and the need for efficient fuel identification and damage minimization strategies. 2. Second Chapter: Develops a mathematical model considering fuel consumption, fly ash, and mineral impurities, aiming to maximize tube life and minimize costs. It improves understanding of coal quality's impact on tube wear and utilizes the Cochran sampling rule for better coal quality control. 3. Third Chapter: Introduces an automated method for producing high-quality coal at TPPs. It involves a twelve-step strategy for setting up a fuzzy logic-based controller, focusing on coal flow management and real-time operation adjustments based on coal quality. 4. Fourth Chapter: Establishes a model-based CICS for tube surface wear, which allocates coal flow based on identified impurities and automated sampling settings. Computational experiments demonstrate the system's efficacy in reducing operating costs and increasing the lifespan of heat exchange tubes. In summary, the dissertation presents a comprehensive approach to managing the wear of heat exchange tubes in thermal power plants, leveraging advanced models, real-time data analysis, and innovative control systems to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and extend equipment lifespan.
