Development of a Dynamic Model and Control System for Load-Following Studies of Supercritical Pulverized Coal Power Plants
Processes, 2018Co-Authors: Parikshit Sarda, S. Zitney, D. Bhattacharyya, Elijah Hedrick, Katherine Reynolds, Benjamin OmellAbstract:Traditional energy production plants are increasingly forced to cycle their load and operate under low-load conditions in response to growth in intermittent renewable generation. A plant-wide dynamic model of a supercritical pulverized coal (SCPC) power plant has been developed in the Aspen Plus Dynamics® (APD) software environment and the impact of advanced control strategies on the transient responses of the key variables to load-following operation and disturbances can be studied. Models of various key unit operations, such as the steam turbine, are developed in Aspen Custom Modeler® (ACM) and integrated in the APD environment. A coordinated control system (CCS) is developed above the regulatory control layer. Three control configurations are evaluated for the control of the main steam; the reheat steam temperature is also controlled. For studying servo control performance of the CCS, the load is decreased from 100% to 40% at a ramp rate of 3% load per min. The impact of a disturbance due to a change in the coal feed composition is also studied. The CCS is found to yield satisfactory performance for both servo control and disturbance rejection.

One-Dimensional Dynamic Modeling of a Single-Stage Downward-Firing Entrained-Flow Coal Gasifier
Energy & Fuels, 2014Co-Authors: J. Kasule, R. Turton, D. Bhattacharyya, S. ZitneyAbstract:In the current paper, a one-dimensional partial differential equation (PDE)-based dynamic model and its simulation results are presented for a single-stage down-fired entrained-flow gasifier. The gasifier model comprises mass, momentum, and energy balances for the gas and solid phases. The initial gasification processes of water evaporation and coal devolatilization and the key heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical reactions have also been modeled. The resulting coupled system of PDEs and algebraic equations is solved using the well-known method of lines in Aspen Custom Modeler. In addition to the dynamic gasifier model, efficient control strategies that can satisfactorily perform both servo and disturbance rejection functions have been developed for the entrained-flow gasifier. The dynamic variations of key gasifier output variables in response to the disturbances commonly encountered in industrial operation are presented. Output variables of interest include gas and solid phase temperatures, synthesis …

dynamic modeling and control studies of a two stage bubbling fluidized bed adsorber reactor for solid sorbent co2 capture
Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2013Co-Authors: Srinivasarao Modekurti, D. Bhattacharyya, S. ZitneyAbstract:A one-dimensional, nonisothermal, pressure-driven dynamic model has been developed for a two-stage bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) adsorber-reactor for solid–sorbent carbon dioxide (CO2) capture using Aspen Custom Modeler (ACM). The BFB model for the flow of gas through a continuous phase of downward moving solids considers three regions: emulsion, bubble, and cloud-wake. Both the upper and lower reactor stages are of overflow-type configuration, i.e., the solids leave from the top of each stage. In addition, dynamic models have been developed for the downcomer that transfers solids between the stages and the exit hopper that removes solids from the bottom of the bed. The models of all auxiliary equipment such as valves and gas distributors have been integrated with the main model of the two-stage adsorber reactor. Using the developed dynamic model, the transient responses of various process variables such as CO2 capture rate and flue gas outlet temperatures have been studied by simulating typical disturbanc…
