Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fuel combustion technology, and specifically relates to a real-time storage and replenishment system and method for biomass CFB boiler bed material. Background Technology
[0002] Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers, with their significant advantages such as wide fuel adaptability, deep peak-shaving capability, and low environmental operating costs, are easy to implement in engineering applications and have been widely used in my country's thermal power industry and biomass power generation sector. However, in actual operation, biomass CFB boilers face challenges such as insufficient ash concentration in the upper part of the furnace, excessive temperature in the dense phase zone, large total air volume required for operation, and NOx emissions after commissioning, due to the large fluctuations in biomass fuel characteristics. x The high initial concentration of SO2 presents challenges. Some biomass fuels have high impurity and moisture content, leading to excessively low bed temperatures and low combustion efficiency under low-load operating conditions. Furthermore, coal-fired CFB boilers also exhibit similar problems. In the current era of rapid development of new energy sources and accelerated construction of new power systems, coal-fired CFB boilers face severe technical challenges in deep peak shaving, including managing NO2 under ultra-low load conditions. x Several key aspects, including effective emission control, stable combustion under low bed temperature conditions, accurate guarantee of steam parameters, and rapid response capability of boiler load.
[0003] To address the above issues, some boilers have adopted optimization and technical upgrades. However, these upgrades are large-scale, involve lengthy construction periods, and incur high investment costs, presenting significant technical challenges and risks. Most biomass CFB boilers maintain stable bed pressure and optimize the furnace temperature field by periodically replenishing bed materials (such as sand, limestone, and bottom ash) during operation. However, traditional replenishment methods rely heavily on manual, intermittent feeding, which has numerous drawbacks, including delayed replenishment, a low proportion of effective bed material in the total bed material, large fluctuations in bed temperature and pressure, and decreased thermal efficiency. Manual operation not only poses safety hazards but also fails to respond in real-time to changes in boiler operating conditions, exhibiting a lag. Existing mechanical replenishment systems mostly employ open-loop control, lacking the ability to dynamically coordinate and control the bed material consumption rate, inventory levels, and boiler operating parameters. Furthermore, existing bed material replenishment systems lack sealed storage modules; if stored outdoors, the bed material is prone to moisture absorption and clumping, leading to decreased fluidity and even blockage of the discharge port. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a real-time storage and replenishment system and method for biomass CFB boiler bed material, addressing the problems mentioned in the background art, such as untimely replenishment leading to delays, low proportion of effective bed material in the total bed material, large fluctuations in bed temperature and pressure, decreased thermal efficiency, lack of dynamic collaborative control capabilities, and lack of sealed bed material storage. This system can precisely adjust the amount of effective bed material in the furnace, optimize the distribution of the temperature field within the furnace, and reduce operating wind speed and NO without large-scale modifications to the boiler body system. x The original concentration is adjusted to achieve deep peak shaving and rapid start-up and shutdown of the boiler, while ensuring that the boiler can operate stably for a long period of time in a high-efficiency, environmentally friendly, flexible, low-carbon and long-term manner.

[0024] The present invention provides a real-time storage and replenishment system and method for biomass CFB boiler bed material, which has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0025] This invention collects and cools circulating ash and bottom ash in the boiler in real time through an ash discharge pipe (slag discharge pipe) and an ash cooler (slag cooler). The cooled circulating ash and bottom ash are easily conveyed pneumatically. This invention uses a vibrating screen at the bottom of the boiler to separate effective bed material (particle size 0-2 mm) that can be used to supplement the upper bed material in the boiler, avoiding the problem of insufficient effective bed material ratio. This invention stores the screened effective bed material in a bed material storage silo. A rainproof cover and humidity sensor are installed on the top of the bed material storage silo to ensure the material is dry. A ceramic wear-resistant layer is applied to the inner wall of the bed material storage silo to prevent wear and corrosion caused by the bed material.
[0026] Furthermore, the ash discharge pipes are made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant materials, which can avoid shutdown problems caused by leakage. Each ash discharge pipe is equipped with a manual slide gate to close the ash discharge when the bed temperature is high, and can also isolate the system in case of an accident.
[0027] Furthermore, a weighing module is installed on the storage bin legs to monitor the bed material inventory in real time.
[0028] Furthermore, the injection tank adopts a pneumatic conveying method, which can quickly respond to control the bed stock in the furnace and has a flexible operation mode.
[0029] Furthermore, a ring-shaped fluidizing duct is installed at the bottom of the bed material storage silo to introduce dry compressed air and prevent the bed material from caking and clogging. The vertical rotary feeder valve effectively prevents gas backflow through its internal sealing structure and solid materials. Equipped with a variable frequency motor, it can continuously and stably convey materials and precisely control the feed rate. The dual anti-clogging design of the storage silo fluidizing air and the vertical rotary feeder valve reduces the system failure rate by 70%.
[0030] Furthermore, the central control subsystem receives data signals from the online monitoring unit and weighing module in real time, dynamically calculates replenishment requirements based on the bed material consumption model, and outputs instructions to the vertical rotary feeder valve to control the feed rate in real time.

The decision algorithm layer (9.2) dynamically calculates the replenishment demand based on the data obtained by the data acquisition layer (9.1) and the bed material consumption model, namely, the bed material inventory Q = original bed material quantity + coal feed quantity × ash content - bottom ash quantity - fly ash quantity - settling ash quantity - circulating ash discharge quantity; The execution control layer (9.3) outputs frequency conversion commands to the intelligent supply subsystem (8) based on the supply demand calculated by the decision algorithm layer (9.2), and at the same time triggers the intermittent start and stop of the annular fluidized air duct (7.2); According to the instructions issued by the central control subsystem (9), the bed material is sequentially sent into the upper part of the furnace through the manual gate valve (7.4) of the hopper, the shut-off valve (8.3) of the injection tank, the injection tank (8.2), the vertical rotary feeder (8.4), the pneumatic conveying pipeline (8.1), and the distributor (8.6), so as to accurately adjust the amount of effective bed material in the furnace and stabilize the bed pressure.
