Definition:
Power System Frequency can be defined as a measure of the electrical
speed of the synchronous generators connected to the grid; this is a
common value at every point in the grid.

36. 600MW SCPC Simulation - Key Challenges
(1) Dynamic model of water fall
• Subcritical boiler riser tube – one-section lumped parameter model
• Supcritical boiler water fall – multi-section lumped parameter model
– At subcritical pressure, the water is heated gradually into steam-water
mixture (two phase flow)
– At supercritical pressure, the water is heated and evaporated into steam
directly (one phase flow)
– Near the critical point, the specific heat capacity shows dramatic change

(3) Build the steam/water thermodynamic property calculation method
38. 600MW SCPC Simulation - Key Challenges
(4) Control system model
• Automatically stabilize the process
to improve the operator training
quality
• Basis for advanced study on
control system strategy and
controller parameter optimization
Multivariable nonlinear control
Keep a proper coal water ratio - to track the unit load command quickly
while minimize the main steam temperature
Feed forward signal from unit load command - to coordinate boiler/turbine
response
Control intermediate point temperature or enthalpy - to keep stable heat
distribution in water wall
39. 600MW SCPC Simulation - Feedwater Control
Feed water flow control in once-through supercritical coal-fired boiler is
different with that in drum-type boiler
– The fluctuation of feed water flow or combustion ratio all have great impact on the
dynamic of unit load and main steam temperature due to lack of drum
– To regulate unit load with minimum main steam temperature variation, the
combustion ratio (fuel and air flow) and feed water flow should keep a proper ratio—
coal/water ratio
Control scheme:
• Outer loop: feed water flow
command, consists of two parts:
a basic command comes from
coal-water ratio calculation,
then plus a calibration signal
from middle point temperature
control.
• Inner loop: feed water pump
speed control
41. 600MW SCPC Simulation – progress summary
