Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nitrogen oxide concentration control, and in particular to an online control method and system for NOx concentration generated by combustion in a coal-fired boiler. Background Art

[0002] After combustion, coal-fired boilers will generate a certain concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which is detected by the flue gas analyzer at the inlet of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification device, and serves as the basis for adjusting and controlling the reducing agent (usually ammonia NH3) of the SCR denitrification device. Due to the hysteresis of NOx concentration detection, it is difficult to control the ammonia injection of the SCR denitrification device well, especially when the NOx concentration at the inlet of the SCR denitrification device changes greatly due to variable load, there is a clear phenomenon of excessive or insufficient ammonia injection control, resulting in the net flue gas NOx concentration either exceeding the environmental protection limit or being very low, but the ammonia escape amount increases significantly, increasing the risk of air preheater blockage. Therefore, proper control of the NOx concentration generated by the combustion of coal-fired boilers under variable load will help optimize the operation of the SCR denitrification device.

[0003] At present, coal-fired boilers all adopt low-nitrogen combustion technology, which makes the NOx concentration generated by the boiler generally lower than before the adoption of low-nitrogen combustion. However, in the process of variable load, there is basically no control target value for the NOx concentration generated by boiler combustion in the operation control framework of the existing units, so that the NOx concentration generated by combustion will still change greatly. In the process of some boilers dropping from 100% rated load to 50% rated load, the NOx concentration generated by combustion may double. This change needs to be adapted by adjusting the ammonia injection amount of the SCR denitrification device. However, due to the poor operating condition of the ammonia injection regulation of the SCR denitrification device of most boilers, there are problems such as large fluctuations in the net flue gas NOx concentration and large ammonia escape. The large fluctuations in the NOx concentration at the inlet of the SCR denitrification device will reduce the precise matching of the ammonia injection regulation, aggravating the probability of ammonia escape and NOx emission concentration exceeding the standard.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides an online control method for NOx concentration generated by combustion in a coal-fired boiler, comprising:

[0032] S1: Collect coal-fired boiler operation data, including unit load, total boiler air volume, coal volume of each pulverizer, primary air volume of each pulverizer, burnout air volume and average NOx concentration on both sides of the SCR denitrification device inlet.

[0033] Obtain the unit load P, boiler total air volume Q, and coal volume G of each coal mill from the unit's DCS (Distributed Control System) or SIS (Safety Instrumented System) system. i (i=A, B, C, D, E, F), primary air volume of each coal mill Q1 i (i=A, B, C, D, E, F), burnout air volume Q 2 , the average NOx concentration on both sides of the SCR denitrification device inlet, and continuously obtain multiple sets of data at a frequency of once per second to form a data set.

[0034] The unit load P of this data set covers the load range of the unit's normal operation, that is, the maximum and minimum values ​​of the unit load in the data set are close to the maximum and minimum loads of the unit's normal operation, and the deviation between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the unit load and the maximum and minimum loads of the unit's normal operation does not exceed 10MW; and all coal mills have been operated, that is, the coal quantity G of each coal mill in the data set is i The maximum value is greater than 0.

[0035] S2: Perform linear modeling based on the operating data and calculate the expected value of the total boiler air volume.

[0036] Taking the total air volume Q of the boiler as the dependent variable and other parameters as independent variables, a linear model is built for the operation data of the coal-fired boiler:

[0037] Q=k 0 *P+k 1 *G A +k 2 *G B +k 3 *G C +k 4 *G D +k 5 *G E +k 6 *G F +k 7 *Q 1A +k 8 *Q 1B +k 9 *Q 1C +k

[0038] 10 *Q 1D +k 11 *Q 1E +k 12 *Q 1F +k 13 *Q 2 +k 14 *X+b

[0039] Where: Q is the total air volume of the boiler (unit: t / h or %), P is the unit load (unit: MW), G A ~G F is the coal feeding amount of coal mills A to F (unit: t / h or %), Q 1A ~Q 1F is the primary air volume of coal mills A to F (unit: t / h or %), Q2 is the burnout air volume (unit: t / h or %), X is the average NOx concentration on both sides of the inlet of the SCR denitrification device (unit: mg / m 3 ), k 0 ~k 14is the modeling coefficient, b is the modeling constant;

[0040] The average NOx concentration X on both sides of the SCR denitrification device inlet is replaced by the set value NOxsp of NOx generation concentration control. The other independent variables are online data, and the expected value Qsp of the total air volume of the boiler is obtained. Qsp is the NOx concentration generated by boiler combustion. When the set value is NOxsp, under the current boiler operating parameters, the set value of the total air volume of the boiler should be Qsp. There is a functional relationship between the two, which can be described by a linear function.

[0041] NOxsp can be a function of the load setting value, NOxsp = F1 (Psp), and the function F1 can be linear or broken line as required, as shown below:

[0042]

[0043] S3: The difference between the expected value of the total air volume of the boiler and the total air volume of the boiler is used as the feedforward of the first controller, and the difference between the set value NOxsp of the NOx generation concentration control and the average NOx concentration X on both sides of the inlet of the SCR denitrification device is used as the input of the first controller to obtain the total air volume offset value dQ.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 The difference between the expected value Qsp of the total air volume of the boiler and the current total air volume Q is used as the feedforward of the first controller (proportional integral differential controller PID1), and the difference between the set value NOxsp of the NOx generation concentration control and the average NOx concentration X on both sides of the inlet of the SCR denitrification device is used as the input of PID1. After PID1 calculation, the output is obtained, and the total air volume offset value dQ is obtained after being limited by upper and lower limits. Among them, the upper limit of the total air volume offset value dQ is set to 0, and the lower limit is set to -5%.

[0045] S4: The NOx concentration generated by boiler combustion is adjusted by controlling the total air volume offset value dQ.

[0046] The total air volume offset value dQ is sent to the original total air volume control loop of the DCS for total air volume offset control, thereby adjusting the NOx concentration generated by boiler combustion. The NOx concentration generated by boiler combustion refers to the NOx concentration in the tail flue gas after the combustion of the coal-fired boiler, that is, the NOx concentration measured at the inlet of the SCR denitrification device.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Reference Figure 2-3 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it provides another online control method for NOx concentration generated by combustion in a coal-fired boiler, including:

[0049] S1: Collect coal-fired boiler operation data, including unit load, total boiler air volume, coal volume of each pulverizer, primary air volume of each pulverizer, burnout air volume and average NOx concentration on both sides of the SCR denitrification device inlet.

[0050] The average NOx concentration on both sides of the inlet of the SCR denitrification device is obtained from the DCS system (Distributed control system) or SIS system (Safety Instrumented System) of the unit, and multiple sets of data are continuously obtained at a frequency of once per second.

[0051] S2: The difference between the average NOx concentration X on both sides of the inlet of the SCR denitrification device and the set value NOxsp of the NOx generation concentration control is used as the input of the second controller (proportional integral differential controller PID2), and the function F2 of the load set value Psp is used as the feedforward of the second controller to output the burnout damper command SOFAsp.

[0052] (1) Function F2 can be a linear function of the load setting value Psp or a broken line function, as shown below:

[0053]

[0054] The lower limit of the outlet of the second controller is set to 10% and the upper limit is set to 100%.

[0055] S3: The deviation TL-TR between the left and right reheat steam temperatures is used as the input of the third controller, and the burnout damper correction instruction dSOFA is output.

[0056] The outlet lower limit of the third controller (proportional integral derivative controller PID3) is set to -10%, and the upper limit is set to 10%.

[0057] S4: According to the regulation direction and control direction of the left and right reheat steam temperatures by the left and right overburnt air, set the command SOFA_Lsp of the left overburnt air door and the command SOFA_Rsp of the right overburnt air door.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 When the regulation direction and control direction of the left and right burnout air on the left and right reheat steam temperatures are the same, that is, when the left burnout air valve is opened or the right burnout air valve is closed, the left reheat steam temperature decreases or the right reheat steam temperature increases. At this time, the sum of the burnout air valve command SOFAsp and the burnout air valve correction command dSOFA is used as the left burnout air valve command SOFA_Lsp, and the difference between the burnout air valve command SOFAsp and the burnout air valve correction command dSOFA is used as the right burnout air valve command SOFA_Rsp.

[0059] Reference Figure 3When the regulation direction of the left and right burnout air on the left and right reheat steam temperatures is opposite to the control direction, that is, when the left burnout air valve is opened or the right burnout air valve is closed, the left reheat steam temperature increases or the right reheat steam temperature decreases. At this time, the difference between the burnout air valve command SOFAsp and the burnout air valve correction command dSOFA is used as the left burnout air valve command SOFA_Lsp, and the sum of the burnout air valve command SOFAsp and the burnout air valve correction command dSOFA is used as the right burnout air valve command SOFA_Rsp.

[0060] S5: The burnout damper opening is adjusted by the left burnout damper command SOFA_Lsp and the right burnout damper command SOFA_Rsp, thereby adjusting the NOx concentration generated by boiler combustion.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] This embodiment provides a method for adjusting the opening of a burnout damper, comprising:

[0063] The purpose of adjusting the overburnt air door opening is to change the overburnt air ratio, thereby changing the NOx concentration generated by boiler combustion.

[0064] The overburn air ratio can also be achieved by keeping the overburn air door unchanged and changing the auxiliary air and fuel air doors of the burner, that is, by changing any one of the air volumes (overburn air volume / auxiliary air volume / fuel air volume) in the formula to change the overburn air ratio:

[0065] Burnout air ratio = burnout air volume / (burnout air volume + auxiliary air volume + fuel air volume).
