Abstract

An integrated finite element model composed of a boiler and its supporting steel structure for a 375-MW coal-fired power plant was developed. This study used the developed model for seismic analysis using SAP2000 software. For the complex superheaters, reheaters, economizers, and membrane walls of the boiler, which consisted of numerous tubes, a method of modeling them by the equivalent elements in the viewpoint of stiffness and/or inertia was proposed. In addition, a method of modeling for the connection between the boiler and steel structure was proposed. Many hangers that connect the boiler to the girders of a steel structure were transformed into equivalent hangers by decreasing the number. The displacements of the boiler stoppers on the buckstay and the posts of the steel structure were coupled by considering their interface condition. Static analysis under the self-loading condition for the developed integrated model was implemented, and the results of deformation indicated that the behavior of the steel members and the major components of the boiler were appropriate. In conclusion, the integrated model developed in this study can be used to evaluate the safety of the boiler and steel structure under seismic loads.

본 연구에서는 정격 출력 375 MW급의 석탄화력발전소의 보일러 및 보일러를 지지하는 철골의 유한요소해석을 위한 보일러-철골 통합모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구는 SAP2000 프로그램을 사용하여 지진하중에 대하여 통합모델을 해석함으로써 차후에 보일러와 철골의 안전성을 평가할 것을 염두에 두고 수행한 선행 연구이다. 보일러 내부의 수많은 관으로 구성되는 복잡한 과열기, 재열기, 절탄기, 멤브레인벽에 대하여 단순화 기법을 사용하여 강성과 관성의 관점에서 등가인 보요소, 쉘요소, 솔리드요소로 모델링하는 방법을 제시하였다. 그리고 보일러와 철골 간의 연결을 위한 모델링 방법도 제시하였다. 보일러를 철골의 거더에 매다는 역할을 하는 많은 행거는 개수를 줄여서 등가 행거로 변환하여 모델링하였다. 보일러 외벽의 벅스테이에 부착된 보일러 스토퍼는 스토퍼와 철골 기둥 사이의 연결 관계를 고려하여 변위를 연계시켜 모델링하였다. 개발된 보일러-철골 통합모델에 대하여 자중조건에 대한 정적해석을 수행하여 변형형태를 평가하였다. 자중조건에 대한 해석결과, 철골 부재들과 보일러의 주요 구성품들의 거동이 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 개발된 통합모델은 보일러 및 보일러를 지지하는 철골의 지진에 대한 안전성 평가에 충분히 활용이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.
