Abstract
To study the effects of various coal properties on the combustion characteristics during actual operation, and on the high temperature corrosion of the water wall. The paper presents a numerical simulation of a 660MW boiler using ANSYS FLUENT software. Three cases were investigated with various fuel properties: (1) the designed coal NO.1, (2) the non-designed coal NO.2 with high ash, high sulphur content and low volatile matter, (3) the blended fuel of coal NO.3with similar coal quality to the coal NO.1 and NO.4 with high sulphur content. Simulation results indicate that blended coal feeding can improve the combustion characteristics of poor-quality coals. It provides a theoretical reference for the actual operation of power plants with non-designed coals.
