[0019] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0020] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an online monitoring system and electronic equipment for co-firing organic fuels in a coal-fired boiler according to an embodiment of this application.

[0021] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an online monitoring system for co-firing organic fuels in a coal-fired boiler, provided as an embodiment of this application.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the online monitoring system for the co-firing of organic fuels in a coal-fired boiler includes: a data acquisition component 100, a detection component 200, and a processing component 300.

[0023] The acquisition component 100 is used to acquire composition data of various fuels before and after boiler co-firing, including coal, organic fuels and mixed fuels, and the composition data includes lower heating value, moisture and ash content; the detection component 200 is used to monitor the changes in the boiler's operating status after combustion, including fly ash carbon content and flue gas temperature; the processing component 300 is communicatively connected to the acquisition component 100 and the detection component 200 to calculate the carbon emissions of organic fuels based on the composition data of various fuels before and after boiler co-firing and the changes in the boiler's operating status after combustion.

[0024] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can acquire data on the low heating value, moisture and ash content of coal, organic fuels and blended fuels in real time by setting up acquisition components. Combined with the online monitoring of key operating status changes such as the carbon content of fly ash and flue gas temperature after combustion by detection components, and the processing components integrate the above multi-source data for dynamic calculation, the accurate and continuous online measurement of carbon emissions during the blending of organic fuels is realized. This effectively overcomes the problems of traditional offline detection lag and large errors due to manual intervention, and significantly improves the real-time performance and accuracy of carbon emission monitoring during the blending process. It provides a reliable data foundation and technical support for the operation optimization, carbon emission control and economic evaluation of coal-fired boilers blended with organic fuels.

[0025] It should be noted that the processing component in this application is a control computer, and no specific limitations are imposed.

[0026] In this embodiment of the application, the acquisition component 100 includes: a first online sampling and analysis device, a second online sampling and analysis device, and a third online sampling and analysis device.

[0027] The system includes a first online sampling and analysis device located on the coal feeding path, a second online sampling and analysis device located on the organic fuel feeding path, and a third online sampling and analysis device located on the pulverized coal outlet pipeline of the coal mill. The first online sampling and analysis device is used to acquire real-time composition data of the coal; the second online sampling and analysis device is used to acquire real-time composition data of the organic fuel; and the third online sampling and analysis device is used to acquire real-time composition data of the mixed fuel.

[0028] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can achieve real-time, full-condition component monitoring of raw coal, organic fuel, and the mixture thereof by setting first, second, and third online sampling and analysis devices on the coal feeding path, organic fuel feeding path, and pulverized coal outlet pipeline of the coal mill, respectively. This enables continuous acquisition of key parameters such as low calorific value, moisture, and ash content, effectively solving the problem of large fluctuations in fuel composition and uneven mixing during the co-firing process, which makes it difficult to accurately characterize the composition. This provides timely and reliable front-end data support for subsequent combustion control optimization, dynamic calculation of carbon emissions, and precise control of the co-firing ratio, significantly improving the level of intelligent and refined management of the organic fuel co-firing process in coal-fired boilers.

[0029] It should be noted that the first online sampling and analysis device is an organic fuel sampling device and an organic fuel composition analyzer, the second online sampling and analysis device is a coal sampling device and an organic fuel composition analyzer, and the third online sampling and analysis device is an organic fuel and coal mixed fuel sampling device and an organic fuel composition analyzer.

This effectively overcomes the measurement deviation caused by the uneven distribution of fly ash and temperature field in the flue gas duct, significantly improves the representativeness and accuracy of fly ash carbon content and flue gas temperature data, and, combined with the analysis system linked to each fuel sampling point, provides high-precision, multi-dimensional data support for boiler combustion efficiency assessment, dynamic calculation of carbon emissions, and operation optimization under co-firing conditions, thereby improving the reliability and scientific nature of the monitoring system.

[0035] Temperature measuring device 5 is installed in the air preheater outlet flue, using a grid method to measure the flue gas temperature at multiple points to assess boiler heat loss and efficiency changes. Signal line 6 transmits real-time data from various monitoring modules (such as fly ash carbon content analyzer, temperature measuring device, and composition analyzer) to the control computer, enabling data integration and communication. The control computer (processing component) 7 serves as the system's data processing and calculation center, receiving all online monitoring data, executing carbon emission and economic calculation models, and displaying the results in real time (such as fuel composition, fly ash carbon content, flue gas temperature, carbon emissions, and economic indicators).

[0036] An organic fuel and coal blend sampling device 9 is installed in the pulverized coal pipeline at the outlet of the coal mill to collect samples of the blended coal and organic fuel and send them to an organic fuel composition analyzer. The pulverized coal pipeline 10 transports pulverized coal or blended fuel from the coal mill to the coal-fired boiler, serving as a crucial fuel transport channel.

[0038] It should be noted that the organic fuel composition online monitoring system involves installing a sampling device inside the organic fuel chutes. After sampling, the organic fuel is sent to an organic fuel composition analyzer for analysis, yielding elemental analysis, industrial analysis, moisture content, ash content, calorific value, etc., which is then transmitted to a display for real-time display via a data signal line. Similarly, the coal composition online monitoring system involves installing a sampling device inside the coal chutes. After sampling, the coal is sent to an organic fuel composition analyzer for analysis, yielding elemental analysis, industrial analysis, moisture content, ash content, calorific value, etc., which is also transmitted to a display for real-time display via a data signal line.

Flue gas temperature measurement system: Flue gas temperature measurement devices are arranged in a multi-point grid pattern inside the air preheater outlet flue. The flue gas temperature value is transmitted to a display for real-time display via data signal lines.

[0040] In this embodiment, the processing component 300 is further used to obtain the carbon emissions of organic fuels, input the carbon emissions of organic fuels into the processing model, generate cost data of the organic fuel power generation system, generate adjustment instructions based on the cost data, and control the boiler to adjust the operating data of the coal-fired power generation unit based on the adjustment instructions.

[0041] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can obtain real-time calculated organic fuel carbon emissions and input them into the built-in economic and operational optimization processing model to automatically generate comprehensive cost data including fuel costs, carbon trading revenue, and energy consumption changes. This data is then used to generate optimal blending operation adjustment instructions for dynamically controlling the operating parameters of the boiler coal-fired power generation unit. This achieves closed-loop management from carbon emission monitoring to economic assessment and operation control, significantly improving the intelligence level of the blending process. It helps power plants achieve synergistic optimization of low carbon emissions and operational economy while ensuring stable combustion, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.

[0043] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can achieve a dynamic and accurate assessment of the entire process of co-firing organic fuels in coal-fired boilers by integrating multi-dimensional economic parameters such as coal consumption variation costs, fuel substitution costs, fixed retrofit costs, carbon tax revenue, electricity price subsidies, and environmental protection equipment operation savings. Based on real-time monitoring data, the total cost changes and total revenue changes are calculated to generate comprehensive and quantitative cost data. This not only overcomes the shortcomings of traditional economic analysis being static and fragmented, but also provides a scientific basis for co-firing strategy optimization, investment return assessment, and operation control decisions, significantly improving the transparency of economic benefits and the level of intelligent management in the co-firing process.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, obtaining the cost change caused by the change in coal consumption includes: identifying the change in boiler coal consumption caused by the blending of organic fuels, the annual utilization hours of the unit, the price of boiler coal converted to standard coal, and the unit's installed capacity; and calculating the cost change caused by the change in coal consumption based on the change in boiler coal consumption caused by the blending of organic fuels, the annual utilization hours of the unit, the price of boiler coal converted to standard coal, and the unit's installed capacity.

[0047] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can accurately calculate the annual operating cost changes under organic fuel blending and pure coal combustion conditions by identifying organic fuel consumption, lower heating value, and corresponding price parameters, converting them into equivalent standard coal consumption, and combining the price difference between organic fuel and standard coal. This method fully considers the difference in fuel calorific value and economic conversion relationship, effectively improving the scientificity and accuracy of blending cost assessment.

[0066] This coal-fired boiler blends 15% organic fuel (calorific value), primarily wood-based, with a net calorific value of approximately 4000 kcal / kg. Based on data from online component monitoring, online fly ash carbon content monitoring, and online flue gas temperature monitoring systems, as well as an economic evaluation model, calculations were performed on the CO2 emission reduction and economic performance of the blended organic fuel boiler. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Table 1. Carbon dioxide emission reduction and economic efficiency of coal-fired boilers co-firing organic fuels.

[0068] In summary, the calculation results clearly show that, under the current carbon price, although the price of biomass fuel itself is higher than that of coal and has a slight negative impact on boiler efficiency, the co-firing project still achieved significant annual net profit.

[0069] This application also provides an electronic device, including the online monitoring system for the co-firing of organic fuels in a coal-fired boiler as described above.
