摘要:
A combustion control method wherein manipulated variables or the amounts of fuel and air in at least one combustion zone of a boiler are regulated so that both the amount of nitrogen oxides and the amount of unburned coal in the ash at an outlet of a burner furnace or at least one of them passes the regulation standards and satisfies the requirements for operating a plant. The method is characterized by varying the amounts of fuel and air in performing trial operations on manipulated variables to evaluate the nitrogen oxides at the furnace outlet, the unburned coal in the ash at the furnace outlet and the stability of combustion, and declaring as optimum manipulated variables those amounts of fuel and air used for performing the trial operations which achieve results such that the combustion is found to be stabilized, at least the nitrogen oxides at the furnace outlet satisfy the requirement and the thermal efficiency of the boiler is judged to be at the highest level by a boiler thermal efficiency judging section.

This invention relates to the supervision of a combustion state of a combustion furnace. A flame formed concentrically with the direction of a fuel jetted from a burner being the center is measured from its side, and two oxidizing flame zones as high luminance zones are extracted. Using the shape parameters of the flame, an index for reducing NOx and unburnt components in ash are calculated and estimated so as to supervise the combustion state. The positions or centroids of the flames and the distance between the centroids are used as the shape parameters, and the flame shape is divided into two zones for easy display of each zone.

A method of controlling combustion in a furnace of a boiler or the like having a burner for a main combustion and a burner for a reducing combustion in order to effect combustion for furnace denitrification. The method comprises the steps of: estimating the NO.sub.x generation amount from data on a flame formed by the main combustion; estimating the reducing agent generation amount from data on a flame formed by the reducing combustion; and controlling the flow rates of fuel and air supplied for the main and reducing combustions so that the amount of NO.sub.x emission as the difference between the NO.sub.x generation amount and the reducing agent generation amount is below a specified value. In practice, each of the NO.sub.x generation amount and the reducing agent generation amount is estimated from the flame pattern, the flame volume, the distance between the outlet of the burner concerned and the root of the flame concerned, etc., thereby to distributively control the flow rates of fuel and air supplied to each of the main combustion burner and the reducing combustion burner so that the amount of NO.sub.x emission is below a specified value.

A method of symptom diagnosis by continuously detecting vibration of the shaft of a rotary machine and monitoring a signal indicative of detected shaft vibration for the diagnosis of the operating condition of the rotary machine. In the method, a symptom of unusual operation of the rotary machine is diagnosed. The rotation speed range of the rotary machine is classified into a safety region, an alarm region and a trip region depending on the level of the shaft vibration signal. According to the disclosed method, symptom diagnostic regions are established within the safety region at time intervals of a symptom diagnostic period, and whether or not the level of the detected shaft vibration signal deviates from that of the symptom diagnostic regions is continuously monitored for the diagnosis of a symptom of unusual operation of the rotary machine.
摘要:
A method of diagnosing a combustion state in a furnace of a boiler wherein the shape of the root part of a flame (namely, the part closer to the fuel jet port of a burner) is picked up by an image sensor or the like, and the combustion state is diagnosed from the shape. Concretely, the relationships between the shapes of the root parts of flames and the combustion states of the furnace, e.g., the amount of CO or the amount of NOx are experimentally or empirically ensured and are stored in advance, one of the patterns of the stored flame shapes is selected on the basis of the shape of the root part of the flame actually observed, and the combustion state of the furnace is judged the combustion state of the selected flame shape.
摘要:
In a rotary machine mounted on a rotary shaft journaled in journal bearings, a source of unusual vibration of the rotary machine is identified on the basis of the results of the steps of (1) subjecting a shaft vibration signal to frequency analysis for analyzing its frequency distribution, and (2) analyzing the amplitude of the shaft vibration signal and the variation rate of a phase signal of a component related to the shaft rotation frequency among the frequency components of the shaft vibration signal. The present invention is usefully applicable to diagnosis of vibration of a rotary shaft of a large-size turbine or a generator in a power plant by continuously monitoring the shaft vibration for immediately automatically detecting unusual vibration of the rotary machine in the event of occurrence of such unusual vibration. The usefulness is more enhanced when the signal indicative of vibration of the rotary shaft is converted into a digital signal to be analyzed by a digital computer which identifies the source of unusual vibration.

The present invention relates to a method of controlling the operation of large rotary machines such as steam turbines and generators in a thermal power plant or nuclear power plant. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of controlling such operation as increasing or decreasing the speed of the rotary machines or stopping the operation of the rotary machines, by detecting vibration at the time of starting the operation or during the steady-speed operation, by analyzing the detected vibration signals to determine whether the operation is in normal condition or abnormal condition, and by detecting or forecasting the cause in case the operation is in abnormal condition.
摘要:
A system and method for the adaptive control of a process in which a feed forward control signal corresponding to a process demand is calculated according to a predetermined algebraic function, while a feedback correction signal is calculated on the basis of an error of a process feedback signal indicative of an error of a controlled variable from a predetermined setting, and the controlled variable of the process is controlled on the basis of the sum of these two signals. The adaptive control is such that, when a set point of the function deviates from the actual process demand, a value corresponding to the error appears in the feedback correction signal, and this value is used for automatically modifying the function itself to ensure the adaptive control of the process. A determination is made whether or not the process is in the steady state and when steady state operation is determined, the function of the feed forward control signal is modified.
摘要:
In an automatic control system, controls receive an input indicative of a deviation between feedback and demand signals and produce an output which in turn is applied to a plant to control it. A diagnostic device includes a model having an equivalent characteristic to the controls and receives the deviation signal. When a noise coming into the automatic control system is detected or when a deviation between the outputs of the model and controls is sufficiently small, no model operation is performed, and the output of the controls is determined as that of the model. However, when the deviation between the outputs of the model and the controls is large, the model is supplied with an input thereby performing a model operation. A resultant output of the model is then compared with the output of the controls to produce an alarm indicative of an abnormal state of the controls in accordance with a deviation between these outputs.
