Abstract:

In the light of increasing renewable feed-in and challenging market conditions, flexibility requirements for hard-coal fired power plants become more important. The focus is on the capability for primary and secondary control response. In this work, a procedure has been developed using Kalman filters to smoothen stochastic oscillations of a Promecon coal dust mass flow measurement while capturing the dynamic behavior during steep load ramps. The filtered signal can be used to improve the performance of the power correction controller in the power plant. 

A state controller with observer is proposed for this purpose, where the observer is corrected by the power output measurement and the coal dust mass flow measurement. Test results of the implementation in the control system at Wilhelmshaven power plant show promising behavior of the enhanced controller.
