Project Objectives
Test and troubleshoot the fuel feed
and fluidized bed combustion control system to demonstrate:
1) a
generation capacity of 200 kWe
2) optimum
consumption and combustion of fuel at a given rate (500-750# per hour).
Project Tasks
1.0
Fuel Feed System
1.1 Calibrate
the system for fuel feed rate vs. screw speed & mA settings. Begin at 0 to
750 #/per hour.
1.2 Analyses
of fuel sample (ultimate and proximate analyses)
2.0
Design and Program Instrumentation, Controllers
and Computer System Using Soft PLC Approach
2.1 Design
and program system in soft PLC software.
2.2 Generate
curves to show relationships and optimum operating conditions between operating
parameters at various operating conditions.
2.2.1
Calculate temp vs. time after startup
2.2.1.1Radiant
heat exchanger furnace exit air (to turbine combustor)
2.2.1.2Bed
temperature
2.2.1.3Flue gas
temp and O2 analysis
2.2.1.4Primary
air temp
2.2.1.5Turbine
outlet temp
2.2.1.6Secondary
air temp
2.2.2
Calculate load vs. radiant heat exchanger exit air and
turbine outlet temp
2.2.3
Calculate diesel fuel decrease vs. time after startup
(as biomass increases; specify biomass rate also)
2.2.4
Calculate primary and secondary air blower speeds vs.
time and inlet temperature
2.2.5
Calculate screw feeder speed vs. blower speeds
Reporting Requirements:
Submit progress reports and
final report in accordance with project schedule.
