BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Figure 1This is the combustion optimization logic control diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] A pulverized coal boiler combustion optimization control system comprises a pulverized coal boiler system and a DCS control system connected to the pulverized coal boiler system. The DCS control system is used to control the combustion adjustment of the pulverized coal boiler system.

[0021] The pulverized coal boiler system includes a boiler, the pulverized coal inlet of the boiler is connected to a pulverizer, and the pulverized coal outlet of the pulverized coal mill is provided with a dynamic separator; an SCR system is provided inside the boiler, and the SCR system is used for denitrification of flue gas; flue gas discharge ports are provided on both sides of the boiler, and the flue gas discharge ports are connected to flue gas discharge pipes, and electrostatic precipitators are provided on the flue gas discharge pipes.

[0022] Each electrostatic precipitator is equipped with an online fly ash carbon content measurement device. This device uses spectrum analysis, and its output is connected to the input of the DCS control system. The device is installed in the hopper of the electrostatic precipitator, where the electric field has a high ash droplet volume, to ensure representative fly ash sampling. The device is installed at the constriction of the hopper and is installed horizontally.

[0023] The measurement cycle of the online measurement device for fly ash carbon content is 5 minutes, and the measurement accuracy is controlled within 0.5%. When the ash hopper temperature is higher than the acid dew point, there is no need to install a heating device. When the ash hopper temperature is lower than the acid dew point, it is necessary to install a heating device or blow it frequently with hot air to avoid ash accumulation and scaling in the sampling device.

[0024] A pulverized coal boiler combustion optimization control method comprises the following steps:

[0025] S1. The DCS control system collects the carbon content of fly ash and processes it differently based on the different values of the fly ash carbon content online measuring devices on the electrostatic precipitators on both sides of the boiler to complete the air distribution on both sides of the boiler.

[0026] After the DCS control system collects the fly ash carbon content values on both sides of the boiler, it first calculates the relative deviation of the values on both sides. When the relative deviation on both sides is greater than 30%, the operating oxygen content on the side with higher fly ash carbon content is directly increased to select the optimal operating oxygen content on one side. If the deviation on both sides is still greater than 30% after the air distribution adjustment, adjustments are made separately according to the specific conditions of both sides, and an early warning notification is issued to remind maintenance personnel to conduct cause analysis.

[0027] When the relative deviation between the two sides is less than 30%, the fly ash carbon content value is taken as the average value of the fly ash carbon content on both sides, and the combustion adjustment is performed uniformly.

[0028] S2. Change the NO x NO concentration converted to 6% O2 x Concentration (mg / Nm 3 ) and input into the DCS control system for power supply cost calculation and to guide combustion adjustment.

[0029] NO x The amount of NO generated is taken from the inlet of the SCR system x The concentration of NO was converted to 6% O2. x Concentration (mg / Nm 3 ), and then input into the DCS control system for power supply cost calculation and guidance of combustion adjustment.

[0030] S3. According to the carbon content of fly ash, NO x The combustion optimization experiment is carried out on the generated amount and the optimal operating condition is selected and recorded as the typical operating condition.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the working condition is stable for 4 hours, the carbon content of fly ash is less than 2.0% and NO x The amount generated is less than 300mg / Nm 3 When the O2 content is 6% (6%), there is no need to continue the combustion optimization test and it can be directly recorded as a typical operating condition, which can be used for operation guidance under the same operating conditions.

[0032] When the carbon content of fly ash is greater than 5.0% and NO x The amount generated is greater than 450mg / Nm 3 When the O2 content is 6% (6%), the priority is to increase the air-powder temperature at the pulverizer outlet and the speed of the pulverizer dynamic separator to reduce the carbon content of fly ash and NOx, while ensuring the safety of the pulverizing system and meeting the rated load output. x Amount generated.

[0033] In other cases, it is recommended to adjust the operating oxygen content and burnout air rate to reduce the carbon content and NO in fly ash. x When adjusting the generation amount, the operating oxygen amount adjustment step is 0.3%. When adjusting the burnout air rate, the burnout air damper opening can be increased simultaneously and the secondary air box damper opening can be reduced with an adjustment step of 10% until the opening reaches 100%.

[0034] Combustion adjustment is a fine adjustment, ignoring the impact on safety, based on the carbon content of fly ash and NO x The lowest power supply cost caused by the generated amount is used as the judgment basis, and the best air distribution plan is selected and recorded as a typical operating condition, which can be used for general operating guidance.

[0035] The impact of fly ash carbon content on the cost of coal-fired power generation is as follows: Where C 燃煤 is the change in coal-fired power generation cost caused by the carbon content of fly ash, RMB / (kW·h); W as,ar W is the basic ash content of the coal fed into the furnace, %; c,rs,m is the carbon content of fly ash, %; Q net,ar is the low calorific value of the coal fed into the furnace, kJ / kg; p 燃煤 is the unit price of coal, in yuan / t. This calculation formula comprehensively considers the impact of changes in coal type and quality, as well as changes in the proportion of economic coal blends, on power supply costs.

[0036] NO x The relationship between the production volume and the cost of liquid ammonia is: Where C 液氨 NO x Liquid ammonia cost caused by production, yuan / (kW·h); NO x Generation amount (6% oxygen content), mg / Nm 3 ;M NO is the molar mass of NO, g / mol; is the molar mass of NH3, g / mol; S is the ammonia nitrogen ratio; p 液氨 is the unit price of liquid ammonia, RMB / t. The calculation formula is adjusted based on emission standards and changes in ammonia slip.

[0037] S4. Set the typical operating condition as the air distribution mode for the pulverized coal boiler system.

[0038] When used, the present invention can effectively reduce the carbon content of fly ash, NO x Increasing the amount of coal produced and improving the blending ratio of economic coal types can produce huge economic benefits.
