Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This course provides an introduction to criteria for the design of heating plant instrumentation. A heating plant may contain one or more boilers. The plant may be an individual plant serving a single building or a compact group of buildings, or a central plant serving many buildings and facilities through an extensive distribution system. The heating plant instrumentation discussed is, in general, for a saturated steam power boiler heating plant. The information provided may also be applicable to Low, Medium, and High Temperature Hot Water heating plants, but does not cover all of the requirements of those plants, such as control of water pressurization and circulation systems. The information may also be applicable to superheated-steam power plants, but does not cover the all of the requirements of those plants, such as steam extraction, reheating, steam turbine control, and cooling water controls.

Book excerpt: Boiler Dynamics and Control Course Notes Now Available By Cyrus W. Taft, P.E. Early in my career (late 1970s) at Southern Company Services I had the opportunity to attend two one-week training courses at Power Technologies, Inc. in Schenectady NY. One course was on Power Plant Performance taught by John Westcott and the other was on Boiler Dynamics and Controls taught by Paul de Mello. Both of these courses were excellent and made a significant impression on me from the standpoint of how much there was to learn and the direction I wanted my career to go. My work at Southern and later EPRI involved both plant performance and plant control but I was more involved with control systems as time went on. Consequently, I have remained in contact with Paul de Mello over the years. I have also kept my copy of the notes from both courses as a reference. Recently Paul approached me with an offer I could not refuse. He wanted to contribute his course notes to the industry and asked if ISA POWID would like to distribute them as a service to its members. I thought it was a great idea and pursued it with the POWID Board and with ISA staff. After getting a thumbs-up from both groups I scanned the course notes into pdf files which are now available for download from the ISA POWID web site (http://www.isa.org/MSTemplate.cfm?MicrositeID=538). You can download either a single large file (~18 MB) with all the chapters included or you can download individual chapters. From the Table of Contents below it is clear that the notes cover all aspects of boiler dynamics and control. You may be thinking that these notes are pretty old so they probably are not that useful today but I beg to differ. While control hardware has certainly changed drastically in the past 30 years, boiler dynamics have not. These notes provide considerable insight into boiler dynamics including physics, modeling, analysis and actual test results. They also provide a great historical perspective on the development of modern control and simulation methods When you download the notes, please look at the Front Matter which includes Paul's biography and his thoughtful Acknowledgements to colleagues. Paul is a Fellow in both ISA and IEEE and has published over 100 technical papers on power plant and power system dynamics. ISA and POWID appreciate this generous contribution to the industry by one of the true pioneers in the area of power plant dynamics and control.

Download or read book Boiler Control Systems Engineering written by G. F. Gilman and published by ISA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for anyone who works with boilers as a utilities manager, power plant manager, control systems engineer, maintenance technician or operator. The information deals primarily with water tube boilers with Induced Draft (ID) and Forced Draft (FD) fan(s) or boilers with only a FD fan. However, it can apply to any steam generator requiring the firing of fuel. The book addresses issues to be considered when defining measurement transmitters and specification for transmitters. Final control elements are reviewed as to characteristics and sizing. Engineering details on control systems and the setup of the various control functions are covered with specific examples of boiler control including configuration and tuning. The book also contains some of the primary requirements for a Burner Management System.

Download or read book Introduction to Plant Automation and Controls written by Raymond F. Gardner and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Plant Automation and Controls addresses all aspects of modern central plant control systems, including instrumentation, control theory, plant systems, VFDs, PLCs, and supervisory systems. Design concepts and operational behavior of various plants are linked to their control philosophies in a manner that helps new or experienced engineers understand the process behind controls, installation, programming, and troubleshooting of automated systems. This groundbreaking book ties modern electronic-based automation and control systems to the special needs of plants and equipment. It applies practical plant operating experience, electronic-equipment design, and plant engineering to bring a unique approach to aspects of plant controls including security, programming languages, and digital theory. The multidimensional content, supported with 500 illustrations, ties together all aspects of plant controls into a single-source reference of otherwise difficult-to-find information. The increasing complexity of plant control systems requires engineers who can relate plant operations and behaviors to their control requirements. This book is ideal for readers with limited electrical and electronic experience, particularly those looking for a multidisciplinary approach for obtaining a practical understanding of control systems related to the best operating practices of large or small plants. It is an invaluable resource for becoming an expert in this field or as a single-source reference for plant control systems. Author Raymond F. Gardner is a professor of engineering at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York, and has been a practicing engineer for more than 40 years.
