Objective
Taxation, legislation and market competition increasingly promotes using coal and renewable energy sources more efficiently and with wide range. National and international emission regulations, concerning especially the level of greenhouse gas emissions, and the introduction of emission trading systems can play important role in the future's energy business sector.
This may lead to an increase in the use of solid biomass based fuels also in Pulverised Coal-fired plants. Co-firing, however, poses new challenges for power plant operators. Particularly, the nature of biomass ash causes boiler fouling, which in turn decreases boiler efficiency. In order to increase fuel flexibility and achieve the most economical way for power generation, many operation parameters must be taken into account.
Advanced on-line methods for ash behaviour and deposition formation monitoring as well as on-line process performance calculation methodologies are developed in this project. These can be implemented into power plant control systems for operators' support.
