In this paper, we present simulation results of Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) to a Once-through boiler steam temperature. In order to control the steam temperatures, we choose spray and damper as two input variables. Then, the step response model is generated for the two major output variables by step test. After that, on-line optimization is performed using $(2\times2)$ step response model. Proposed controller is applied to the APESS (Doosan company's boiler model simulator) and the simulation results show satisfactory performance of proposed control.

화력발전소 보일러의 각종 공정은 대부분 비례 적분 미분 제어기에 의해 제어되어 왔다. 이러한 비례 미분 적분 제어기의 최적튜닝은 공정에 있어 가장 중요한 부분 중 하나라고 할 수 있다. 또한 보일러 제어는 다중의 입력과 루프로 구성되어져 있어 이를 튜닝하기가 어려워 현재까지의 최적튜닝은 튜닝전문가의 숙련도에 의해 결정되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 고급공정제어기(Advanced Process Control, APC)를 개발하는 과정과 이를 이용해 최종적으로 보일러 제어기에서 제어하고자 하는 대상에 대한 응답특성을 간단한 튜닝을 통해 구현하는 과정에 대하여 설명하고 그 결과를 시뮬레이터를 통해 시험함으로써 검증해 보이고자 한다.

The purpose of this research is to design an imitation boiler similar to the waste heat boiler installed on a plasma melting furnace in order to acquire a capability of a thermal design as to the circulation of heat and the discharge of noxious gas inside a boiler and to improve the efficiency of a waste heat boiler using the CFD (Computation Fluid Dynamics) program. The position of corrosion and the generation of a clinker inside a boiler due to temperature changes, combustion gas flows, and corrosive gases inside a boiler are examined to design the structure of an efficient boiler and recycle energy. As a result of this research, the boiler installed on a plasma melting furnace met the conditions of design by cooling the combustion gases discharged after the second combustion from an exhaust port, originally at 1,200 degrees Celsius, down to around 450 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, the circulation of corrosive gases (SOx and HCL) may lead to the generation of corrosion or a clinker in the upper and lower parts of an exhaust port more easily than any other parts of a boiler. Accordingly, the corrosion on the inside and outside walls of a boiler may result in a shortened lifespan of a boiler and an inability to recycle waste heat in an efficient manner. A prevention against corrosion at high and low temperatures needs to be considered in detail.

The energy consumption efficiency in a variety of operational test mode was considered for domestic gas boiler below 70 kW. The energy efficiency test carried out in the experimental conditions similar to the actual operation status was analyzed and compared with the current Korean efficiency test method. Four types of test modes for each boiler(Non-condensing and condensing boiler) were carried out in the condition of laboratory mode(full load, steady state) and actual operating mode. Futhermore divided into two operational status for each of these, it was applied by maximum gas consumption and consumer sales conditions. Test equipment has the function referred to gas boiler standards, such as KS or European standard EN. The equipment should be continuously measured and record the measuring factors which are the flow volume of gas and water, laboratory temperature, water flow volume for heating, return water volume after heating and quantity of the exhaust gases(CO, NO, $NO_2$). The experimental results were found that non-condensing boiler efficiency of laboratory mode is about 10% higher than that of actual mode. In case of condensing boiler, the efficiency of laboratory condition is about 20% higher than that of the actual using conditions. I suggest that the government will gradually take the efficiency test method considering the actual conditions.

Calculation equations of fired fuel comsumption rating at boiler can lead from combustion anal-ysis and boiler heat balance using mass & energy conservations. By comparing calculation equation results with those of measurement, we can confirm the deviation of fuel consumption rate, and correction rate, and correction degree, and can also establish the proven technology to apply the equation at the site. We applied fuel rate equation to the operating power plant and recorded $2.4\%\;&\;1.5\%$ of deviation at each coal and oil fired boilers. This range of deviation is regarded as trustable to apply the fuel consumption equation to the actual site.

In this study, the boiler efficiency and the change of boiler combustion state with the burner operation of the uppermost layer of 870MW opposite fired coal boiler were measured. Test results showed that the boiler efficiency was high in the order of the uppermost layer simultaneous operation of the front and rear burners, the front burner, and the rear burner operation. When the front and rear burners were operated simultaneously, the heat absorption rate of water walls in the boiler furnace was uniform at four side, and the temperature deviation of the left and right steam on the convection front surface decreased. As the heat absorption rate of the boiler improved, the loss of boiler exhaust gas decreased and the coal supply amount decreased by 8 tons/hour compared to the operation of the rear burner. This will contribute not only to the reduction of fuel cost but also to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

The economical efficiency of conversion of the PC (pulverized coal) firing boiler to the CFB (circulating fluidized bed) boiler which used Koran anthracite as fuel was evaluated. The economic feasibility study was also carried out with regard to maintenance of the existing PC boiler. The sensitivity of economical efficiency with variation of the electric power and coal industry and the policy of government was analyzed and compared. As a results of the evaluation, the economical efficiency of maintenance of the existing PC boiler was higher than that of conversion to the CFB boiler because of the special policy of the government for Korean anthracite. However, the conversion to the CFB boiler was more economically attractive from a point of view of effective use of energy resources and future electric power industry. Additionally, the fund support for electric power industry using Korean anthracite would be effective as changing the policy of the government.

In the present study, the characteristics of combustion phenomena and NOx emission in the OFA-type tangentially injected coal-fired boiler have been investigated numerically in order to find the effect of geometrical variation on the performance of the boiler. For these, numerical analyses of turbulent flow, chemical reaction, and radiation heat transfer are performed by using the computational fluid dynamics method. The predicted results clearly show that NOx formation highly depends on the combustion processes, the temperature and species concentrations. In addition, the optimum conditions for both the maximum NOx reduction and highest boiler efficiency can be obtained by considering the amount of supplied air and the injection angle at OFA, and modifying the boiler configuration. It is also found that the variation of supplied air at OFA is more effective than that of the injection angle for reducing the NOx emission, within the present operating conditions.

Pot-holes are steadily increasing due to abnormal climate such as heavy rainfall and frequent snowfall. Pot-hole related to traffic accidents cause injuries, car damage and distress of road facilities. To reduce pot-holes, the use of an anti-stripping agent is mandatorily recommended to asphalt concrete mixture. Hydrated lime is commonly used as anti-stripping agent due to the convenience and economics. Byproduct ash from circulating fluidized bed boiler was reviewed as an anti stripping agent. According to the test results, the byproduct ash is satisfied with TSR specification using 1% to 3% by weight of the asphalt mixture. The byproduct ash was examined under various condition changes of aggregate and asphalt concrete mixture considering quality movement. According to the results, using the byproduct ash was measured average 0.87 of TSR and coverage rates of 60% after rolling bottle test. Test results also revealed that the byproduct ash showed stable performance. Using the byproduct ash to decrease pot-hole in asphalt concrete pavement is suitable for demonstrating stable performance as anti-stripping agent.
