Dynamic simulation of furnaces
The long-term objective of the project is to improve the energy efficiency and to increase the annual operating hours for furnaces for waste and/or biomass combustion. The project objective is obtained by application of transient simulation of furnaces in order to optimize the operational profile of the furnace.
This includes a determination of the types of operational conditions, which influence the furnace regarding efficiency as well as operational stability. Transient simulation of the power plant includes expansion of traditional incinerator modelling with the steam side of the plant together with the separating interfaces (overheaters, panel walls), whose characteristics change due to fouling. The time variation of heat exchange from flue gas side to steam side due to fouling is a central element of the project. The result of a simulation will be a description of the plant behaviour on the flue gas side as well as on the steam side, i.e. temperature profiles, pressure profiles, steam production etc. as a function of time in an operational period of e.g. 4 to 6 weeks. The model can be applied for optimization of operational profiles and methods of control and for investigation the influence of single parameters on the operation
