In this paper, the coal mass flow of the pulverizer used in the coal-fired power plants is modeled in view of the controller design rather than the educational simulator. The coal mass flow is modeled by reinvestigating the mass balance models physically. To identify the model parameters, the Matlab Simulation Tool is used with the data gained from a plant database. It can be seen that the simulated model outputs are well matched with the measured ones.

The aims of this research were to evaluate effects of biomass co-firing to pulverized coal power plants and the variation of co-firing ratios on the plant efficiency related to power consumption of auxiliary system and flue gas characteristics such as production and component by process simulation based on the existing pulverized coal power plant. In this study, four kinds of biomass are selected as renewable fuel candidates for co-firing: wood pellet(WP), palm kernel shell(PKS), empty fruit bunch(EFB) and walnut shell(WS). Process simulation for various biomass fuels and co-firing ratios was performed using a commercial software. Gas side including combustion system and flue gas treatment system was considering with combination of water and steam side which contains turbines, condenser, feed water heaters and pumps. As a result, walnut shell might be the most suitable as co-firing fuel among four biomass since when 10% of walnut shell was co-fired with 90% of coal on thermal basis, flue gas production and power consumption of auxiliary systems were the smallest than those of other biomass co-firing while net plant efficiency was relatively higher than those of other biomass co-firing. However, with increasing walnut shell co-firing ratios, boiler efficiency and net plant efficiency were expected to decrease rather than coal combustion without biomass co-firing.

Coal power plants are large, non-linear systems with numerous interactions between its component parts. In the analysis of such complex systems, dynamic simulation is recognized as a powerful method of keeping track of the myriad of interactions. This paper shows and discusses the developed analysis model, such as the forced draft fan the primary air fan, the furnace and burner system, air preheater and induced draft fan, etc. in accordance with BMCR condition of boiler using the Modular Modeling System(MMS) software.

Accumulation of coal ash at the boiler wall reduces combustion and fuel efficiency. The design of a wall blower is important to effectively remove coal ash. We present numerical results for the removal of coal ash from boiler walls of domestic coal-fired power plants, associated with the computational fluid dynamics for the flow from spray nozzle to boiler wall. The numerical model simulates an erosion process in which the multiphase fluid comprising saturated vapor and fluid water is sprayed from the nozzle, and the water particles impact the boiler wall. We adopt the Finnie erosion model for water particles. We obtain the erosion rate density as a function of nozzle angle and its injection angle. As excessive coal ash removal usually induces damage to the boiler wall, the removal operation typically focuses on a large area with uniform depth rather than the maximum removal of coal ash at a specific location. In order to estimate the removal performance of the wall blower nozzle considering several functionality and reliability factors, we evaluate the optimal injection and nozzle angles with respect to the biggest cumulative and highest erosion rates, as well as the widest range and lowest standard deviation of the erosion rate distribution.

The stability of coal pulverizer in the 800 MW coal-fired plants is vital to maintain their performance. Thus, this study analyzed the uneven abrasion of the deflector and coal spillage due to the air velocity maldistribution in the vane wheel of a bowl-type pulverizer as it is a possible cause for problems of facility using pulverized coal. In addition, air flow in the underbowl of a bowl-type pulverizer was studied to check air velocity maldistribution in the vane wheel using numerical method. In an attempt to correct the maldistribution of air velocity, air flow of the modified duct vane was studied as enlarging the length of the duct vanes installed at the air inlet duct of the pulverizer and increasing the angle of inclination. It was found that modified duct vane make the velocity distribution at the vane wheel uniform. formed by the duct vanes installed at the air inlet duct of the pulverizer and swirling flow is the major factor in making the velocity distribution of vane wheel exit uniform. This can prevent the uneven abrasion of the deflector, which is one of the components inside the pulverizer and coal spillage.

Bottom ash generated from thermal power plants is mainly disposed in landfills, from which metals may be leached by infiltrating water. To evaluate the effect of metals in leachate on soil and groundwater, we characterized bottom ash generated from burning cokes, bituminous coal, the mixture of bituminous coal and wood pellets, and charcoal powder. The bottom ash of charcoal powder had a relatively large particle size, and its wood texture was well-preserved from SEM observation. The bottom ash of charcoal powder and wood pellets had relatively high K concentration from total element analysis. The eluates of the bottom ash samples had appreciable concentrations of Ca, Al, Fe, SO₄, and NO₃, but they were not a significant throughout the batch test. Therefore, it is considered that there is low possibility of soil and groundwater contamination due to leaching of metal ions and anions from these bottom ash in landfills. To estimate the trend of various trace elements, long-term monitoring and additional analysis need to be performed while considering the site conditions, because they readily adsorb on soil and aquifer substances.

This paper reviews the current status of mercury research on exposure and contamination, mercury emissions, emission limits and control technologies, long-range transport and deposition research, and mercury management policy in Korea. According to a monitoring of the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, blood mercury levels among Koreans are $5{\sim}8$ times higher than those of U.S. and Germany. The most dominant source of exposure to mercury is through dietary intake. Emissions of mercury from coal-fired power plants are estimated 8.93 ton/year in 2004. Emissions of mercury from other important sources, such as waste incineration, steel and cement manufacturing and non-ferrous metal smelting operations are to be further investigated. A study on long-range transport of mercury suggests that the dry deposition flux over the Yellow Sea was much greater than those for other oceans. As a whole, the amounts of wet depositions of nitrogen and sulfur were 1.9 and 1.5 times larger than the amounts of dry depositions in each species, respectively. Substantial influence from China caused by high emissions in East China and westerly wind was possibly suggested. However, the influence from nitrogen emission in Korea was also confirmed. Korean Government has already adopted stringent emission limits on mercury for incinerators and boilers in 2005. However, emission limits for coal-fired power plants and non-ferrous metal smelters are rather relaxed. As the above mentioned two sources can be two most important sources of mercury emissions, control strategy for those sources are to be considered.

화력발전소에서 발생하는 유연탄 Bottom ash(BA)는 고온에서 연소 되고 남은 재이다. 고온에서 구워진 재료이기 때문에 맥반석과 같은 기능이 있을 것으로 사료되어 연구를 시작하였다. 최근 일반 모르터보다 황토, 맥반석 등이 재료로 들어가서 원적외선, 항균, 항곰팡이, 탈취, 조습 기능이 있는 모르터의 수요가 늘어가는 추세이다. 유연탄 BA를 친환경 바이오 혼합소재로 활용하기 위한 친환경 바이오 BA 모르터를 일반 모르터와 각각의 기능성에 대해 비교 시험한 결과 원적외선 방사율이 약 $0.02{\times}10^2W/m^2$ 정도 높게 측정되었으며, 탈취 기능은 약 26% 이상 높게 측정되었다. 조습의 경우에도 친환경 바이오 BA 모르터가 일반 모르터보다 약 1.8배 우수한 효과를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 국토해양부에서 제정한 흡 방습 건축자재 "양호"기준보다 10% 이상 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다.

고급탄의 고갈에 따라 석탄화력발전소에서의 저급탄 혼소가 필수불가결하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 수입되는 석탄 중에서 대표적으로 사용되는 역청탄과 아역청탄에 대한 연소특성을 0.7MWth 파일롯 연소실험장치를 사용하여 측정, 분석하였다. 과잉공기비가 1.2인 상태에서 축방향 및 반경방향의 노내 가스온도 및 주요 가스농도를 측정하였으며, 역청탄 연소시 반응로 내의 입자 샘플링을 수행하였다. 두 탄종의 주반응영역은 노 상부의 스월버너로부터 약 1m 근방에서 형성되었으며, 노 하류에서는 완전 확립된 온도와 농도분포를 나타내었다. 포집된 역청탄의 고체입자 분석으로부터 주반응영역 이후에 완전한 탄소전환이 이루어진 것을 확인하였다.

석탄연소 화력발전소 보일러의 최적 제어는 부하요구에 대하여 보일러 출력을 신속히 제어하고, 보일러 출력에 대하여 보일러 입력에너지인 석탄 유량을 조절하여 에너지 균형을 맞추는 것이다. 이는 안정된 부하뿐 아니라 부하변동시에도 균형을 유지하면서 제어해야 한다. 석탄 연소 보일러 에너지 입력이 되는 석탄유량 측정 및 보정은 유류나 가스연료보다 까다롭고, 석탄 연료의 발열량이 시간에 대하여 변하는 문제가 있으므로, 신속하고 안정된 제어 성능을 위해 계측된 석탄 유량을 설계기준치로 환산, 보정하여 제어해야 한다. 이에 대한 기술은 일찍이 보일러 출력인 증기 보유열량을 측정하여 실제 계측한 석탄 유량을 연속적으로 보정하는 기법을 사용하고 있다. 이에 대한 석탄 열량 보정 제어로직을 검토하여 최적 튜닝방안에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다.
