New approach to optimizing combustion in power boilers using software inspired by the immune system integrated with an in–furnace temperature monitoring system
Abstract
This paper presents a new approach in combustion process optimization using an integrated solution of immune inspiredoptimizer (SILO) and acoustic temperature measurement system (AGAM). The solution maintains optimal temperature distributionby on-line, automatic and model based process control. The goal is to increase boiler efficiency, improve processparameters and minimize the environmental impact. This paper includes a description of system components—SILO andAGAM— and the designed solution for an existing, coal-fired power unit. The unit is already equipped with the AGAM systemand identification tests conducted previously informed the design.References
