CONTROLLING POWER PLANT BOILER AND DRAFT FAN USING LABVIEW

P. Hari Krishnan, V.Ramprasadh

Abstract: In this proposed paper, design and controlling of the power plant boiler and draft fan which is currently working on DCS technique has been attained by employing high computing software LabVIEW. The intension of this work is to control the boiler, induced draft fan and forced draft fan in an innovative methodology. A set of inter mesh conditions were provided for this purpose. The aim was to enforce the controlling of boiler, induced draft fan and forced draft fan in LabVIEW that would control the boiler, induced draft fan and forced draft fan as like as the DCS technique. Since DCS is only efficient for large system not less than 5000 inputs and outputs. As above mentioned technique (DCS based) was not cost effective and also it consists of a separate server, a processor and a workstation whereas in the case of software based LabVIEW technique does not require aseparate server, processor and workstation and operator station

Keywords: Boiler, Induced draft fan, Forced draft fan, LabVIEW.
