Abstract :
This paper aims to present an enhanced method for estimating fuel quality on a BioGrate combustion process and its use in a control strategy improvement. The dynamic model based method (DMBM) utilizes combustion power which is calculated using the oxygen consumption of the furnace and the energy balance of the boiler. The proposed method is tested with data from the industrial scale Biopower 5 CHP plant and compared with the method currently used in industry, and finally the results are analyzed and discussed.
