Cost Effective Biomass Combustion Process Control

Abstract

Abstract The new control algorithms were implemented into control systems of boilers for woodchips combustion with aim to reach the complete combustion with minimum excess of combustion air. The main selection criterion for carbon monoxide and oxygen sensors was an achievement of required technical parameters under minimal costs for possibility of using the designed algorithms also in control systems of the small-scale boilers. So far obtained data from monitored control systems of two types of boilers for woodchips combustion confirm the right approach to design and realization of automatic biomass combustion process control system.
