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.

This paper establishes a compact and practical model for a water-wall system comprising supercritical once-through boilers, which can be used for automatic control or simple analysis of the entire boiler-turbine system. Input and output variables of the water-wall system are defined, and balance equations are applied using a lumped parameter method. For practical purposes, the dynamic equations are developed with respect to pressure and temperature instead of density and internal energy. A comparison with results obtained using APESS, a practical thermal power plant simulator developed by Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction, is presented with respect to steady state and transient responses.

Recently, research has been conducted to develop the ORC (organic Rankine cycle), to recover waste heat from facilities such as industrial plants ultimately to create mechanical or electrical energy. The ORC system consists of a heat exchange, a condenser, a pump and a boiler. In this paper, 84 flow analyses were conducted with 21 cases and three variables, i.e., a number of large wings, a number of small wings, and RPMs. R245fa was used as a refrigerant. The flow cavitation phenomenon was investigated through a flow analysis, and a flow stream analysis was conducted.

It requires long time and high cost for an apprentice engineer to reach the level of getting various experiences of engine space machinery and preparing for emergency situations. Therefore reducing the time and cost, several types of simulator that give the very similar surroundings to the ship engine room, relevant to STCW-95 are used for systematic education and training to get many experiences and good judgement in emergency. Since most simulators that are operated in Korea were imported from foreign countries, it is difficult to directly implant the amendments of STCW Convention and reflect International Maritime Organization (IMO) model courses. This study describe a development of marine auxiliary boiler simulator that makes the apprentice engineer easier to understand the relationship between equipments in steam system such as auxiliary boiler, exhaust gas boiler, and steam turbine.

The improvement of load following operation of the thermal power plant is influenced to the electrical quality. Analysis of boiler, turbine, and governor system, and the study of control algorithm are preceded. The thermal power plant is operated by various control systems. In the case of faulty governor system, it takes long days to solve the problem and impossible to repair the mechanism without outage. A non-planned out-age is taken into consideration because of economical power production. In this paper, to clear the continuous swings of an old turbine governor system(YEOSU #1), the trend, the control logic, and the hydraulic mechanism are analyzed, and then the control circuit with ADAPT function and the 1st order lag circuit are inserted and modified. After that, the power plant comes to automatic governor control operation.

A boiler system transforms water to pressured supercritical steam which drives the running of the turbine to rotate in the generator to produce electricity in power plants. Materials for building the tube system face challenges from high temperature creep damage, thermal fatigue/expansion, fireside and steam corrosion, etc. A database on the creep resistance strength and steam oxidation of the materials is important to the long-term reliable operation of the boiler system. Generally, the ferritic steels, i.e., grade 1, grade 2, grade 9, and X20, are extensively used as the superheater (SH) and reheater (RH) in supercritical (SC) and ultra supercritcal (USC) power plants. Currently, advanced austenitic steel, such as TP347H (FG), Super304H and HR3C, are beginning to replace the traditional ferritic steels as they allow an increase in steam temperature to meet the demands for increased plant efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to provide the state-of-the-art knowledge on boiler tube materials, including the strengthening, metallurgy, property/microstructural degradation, oxidation, and oxidation property improvement and then describe the modern microstructural characterization methods to assess and control the properties of these alloys. The paper covers the limited experience and experiment results with the alloys and presents important information on microstructural strengthening, degradation, and oxidation mechanisms.

In this paper, a multivariable robust controller for a boiler-burbine system is designed by using a modified LQG/LTR method. From the known nonlinear dynamic model, a linearized model is obtained with the saturations at both input magnitude and input varying rate. The modeling error is analyzed at various operation points. A new dynamics augmentation method in the LQG/LTR method is suggested which can be applied to LQG/LTR method to reject the input and output disturbances and to follow reference inputs under modeling errors. The good performance of the designed controller is shown by simulations in various conditions.

The phenomena of oil whip in steam turbines take place for the unbalance force between a rotor shaft and bearing oil film. The several parameters that affect onset of oil whip have been well known. However, the major parameter of oil whip is shaft mis-alinement. A oil whip causes the high vibration and the shutdown of rotor system. We mostly stop the steam turbine to adjust a shaft re-alinement concerning oil whip. In this case, it needs many costs for maintenance and long shutdown times. In this study, we study and observe the oil whip of the 300MW steam turbine in many years and we conduct the field test for another steam turbine for reducing vibration from oil whip. The results of this study are that a oil whip takes place with a particular rotating speed or a particular turbine output and the oil temperature change is a very effective method for on-line oil whip treatment.

There are generator/turbine/boiler control system in the thermal power plant. By the way, the manufacturers are different each other in many cases. Therefore there were many difficulties in interface and maintenance of power plant. So, we have been developing the integration of all control system in a single manufacturer. Mill & burner control is analyzed in this paper.
