Group Regulation Efficiency Analysis for Thermal Power Plant Auxiliaries

Abstract

The paper deals with capacity control measures for thermal power plant auxiliary mechanisms. A mathematical model for studying auxiliary mechanism operation modes has been developed. With the help of the model, the mechanism control system parameters that provide maximum energy efficiency of the mechanism operation have been found. An algorithm of dividing auxiliary mechanisms into groups under application of group capacity regulation for a utility boiler auxiliaries is described. Efficiency of the presented control measure implementation is shown via an example of a utility boiler auxiliaries with the steam capacity of 120 ton/hour.
