In this paper, vibration characteristics after applying variable speed control to fans with a rated speed used in a power plant are studied by performing experiments and analyzing finite element models. Then the campbell diagram is presented to verify the reason of the abnormal vibration measured from fan structure during variable operation of Forced Draft Fan & Induced Draft Fan. According to results, it is found that amplitude of acceleration increases abruptly when a 2X harmonic component meets the natural frequency of fan rotor. Therefore it is very important thing that investigate exactly dynamic characteristics for the rotor at variable speed zone before applying variable speed control to a rotor with a rated speed.

Recently, the large capacity draft fans in power plants had been changed to variable speed type to educe the power consumption. But the fan experienced the unexpected vibration at specific speed regions. In this study, the high vibration frequency of the fan was confirmed and the natural frequency of the rotor were measured and analyzed by FEM programs. It was analyzed that the vibration was caused by the resonance at the frequency, 30.7Hz. So, the rotor vibration characteristic was changed by adjusting the distance between the shaft bearings. It was conformed the high vibration was disappeared over the all operation speeds.

본 논문에서는 평택화력 제2호기 FDF(Forced Draft Fan : 압입송풍기, 이하 FDF) 출구의 공기량제어를 Vane Control 시스템으로 구성되어 있는 것을 구동 유도전동기에 가변속 제어시스템(이하 VFD: Variable Frequency Drive)으로 교체하여 발생한 실험결과를 보여준다. VFD는 Vane을 전개(全開)하고 전동기 속도를 변경시켜 연소에 필요한 노내 공기량을 제어하는 방식이다. VFD 운전은 정속도 Vane 개도 운전에 비해 Throttle Loss를 최소화해서 에너지 절감효과는 크지만 간단한 Vane 제어기에 비해 복잡한 전력전자제어시스템이 어우러진 기기로 신뢰도는 떨어지는 것이 사실이다. 따라서 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 전력생산 보일러에서 후비보호책으로 VFD 고장 시에 Vane제어 모드로 절환은 필연적으로 필요한 설비이다. VFD에서 Vane으로 절환 시에 일어나는 과도상태를 최소화하기 위해서는 보일러 연소제어 알고리즘의 최적화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 구현된 제어알고리즘을 정리한 것이다.
