This paper studies a planning problem for heating water. Hereby, boilers (e.g. gas or electric boilers, heat pumps or microCHPs) are used to heat the water and store it for domestic demands. We consider a simple boiler which is either turned on or turned off and has a buffer of limited capacity. The energy needed to run the boiler has to be bought on a day-ahead market, so we are interested in ...

According to the characteristics of boiler combustion process, we use image processing technique to extract features that characterize the features of flame. On requirements of good real-time performance boiler burning diagnose system, we develop a set of PC add DSP real-time image acquisition and burning diagnosis system on the 200MW boilers. The results show that the system is simple, practic...

National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) has signed an MoU with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) for design and development of automated boiler tube inspection system for vertical water wall tubes. A vertical climbing robot has been developed for this purpose at Division of Remote Handling & Robotics (DRHR), BARC. Recently, an Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) has been integrated ...

Problem statement: The process control of steam boiler is very popular used in the industrial. The temperature of the water is transferred directly by electrical heater. The pressure will increase based on the changing of the temperature. The purpose of the control is to change the opening set point for the valve when the temperature and pressure in the tank are changed. For this problem, we de...

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a declarative language as a tool for automated implementation of requirements written in a semiformal manner. The technique of structural synthesis of programs based on automatic proof search in intuitionistic propositional calculus implemented in the NUT system is used for solving the steam-boiler problem. The goal of the experime...

Modelling of systems is very much useful to study the response of a system for different input variations and for the design of control schemes in both real time application and in the off-line simulation. The development of optimized fuzzy model for a boiler superheater of a 210 MW coal fired thermal boiler power plant is reported in this paper. The fuzzy model has been developed first taking ...

This paper is concerned with the study of drum water level control using the well established single element and 3 element controllers. The study is based on the ÅströmBell (A-B) interpretation model of the boiler, which is used to simulate a 160 MW plant P16-G16 in Sweden and a 500 MW plant WW500 in Australia. Copyright c ©2005 IFAC
