Boiler & Burner Control & Protection Systems
The automatic control system for the boiler in the combined cycle power plant has the following control loops for steam boiler protection. Boiler start-up: The local panel handles the basic operations such as turning on or off the boiler, and operating and managing pumps, fans, valves, etc.
The central control room adjusts and controls the parameters such as combustion control (fuel and airflow), feed water flow (drum water level control), and steam temperature control from the terminal points.
The regulation and control system is designed to perform the control action automatically in normal operation, but during the initial start-up and low steam production (minimum amount), the operator performs the control action manually.
