Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of furnace combustion measurement technology, and more specifically, to a stable combustion control system based on a multi-dimensional furnace combustion measurement method. Background Technology
[0002] With the current high proportion of new energy installed capacity, deep peak shaving of coal-fired units has shifted from unconventional operating conditions to normalized operation mode, with ultra-low load operation time below 30% of rated load accounting for an average of 28% annually. At this time, the sudden drop in furnace heat load leads to a sharp deterioration in combustion stability. The existing single-dimensional flame detection monitoring system has significant technical defects: the ultraviolet flame detection signal response delay is high, and it can only reflect the state after combustion has completely deteriorated; the mechanical atomizing oil gun has a long time from receiving the DCS command to completing atomization and flame establishment, while the critical time window for the deterioration of pulverized coal combustion is very short, resulting in boiler fire extinguishing accidents caused by delayed oil injection.
[0003] More critically, existing technologies suffer from three major technical bottlenecks: First, they lack a multi-physics coupling feature extraction mechanism for early-stage combustion deterioration, making it impossible to provide early warnings in the early stages of signs such as flame morphology variations and abrupt temperature gradient changes; second, the oil gun control strategy uses fixed threshold logic and fails to establish a dynamic mapping relationship between combustion stability and oil gun output, resulting in excessive or insufficient combustion stability during oil injection; third, the correlation analysis between furnace negative pressure fluctuations and combustion status remains at the qualitative level, failing to form a quantitative judgment model based on fluid mechanics, leading to false alarms that interfere with normal operation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a stable combustion control system based on multi-dimensional furnace combustion measurement methods to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a stable combustion control system based on a multi-dimensional furnace combustion measurement method, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art through the following scheme.
