Novel Modelling and Control Strategies for a Steam Boiler under Fast Load Dynamics
This paper describes a new nonlinear dynamic model for a natural circulation boiler. The model is based on physical principles, i.e. mass, energy and momentum balances. A systematic approach is followed leading to new insights into the physics of drum water level and downcomer mass flow. The model captures fast dynamic responses that are necessary to describe the operation of a boiler under highly variable load conditions. New features of the model include (i) a multi-compartment model for the risers, (ii) a new model for drum water level, and (iii) a new dynamic model for the flow of water in the downcomers. Implications of the model for control system design are explored in detail. Finally, the suggested improvements are validated in a sugar mill boiler.
