Abstract:

The content of the unburned carbon in fly ash from utility boiler is modeled by ANN (Artificial Neural Network),and a sensitivity analysis of the effect of secondary air distribution mode on the unburned carbon is car.fled out.Meanwhile,the hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA)and the compound form method are employed to search for the optimum solution to the neural network model.thus obtaining optimized distribution modes of secondary air adapting to various operation conditions.By the simulation of the in.site experimental results of a 300 MW unit.it is finally concluded that the proposed distribution mode of secondary air is feasible and helps to reduce the content of unburned carbon in fly ash.Moreover,the operation standard values of boiler parameters in different oDeration conditions can be determ ined by the proposed method.

Key words: unburned carbon content, secondary air distribution, neural network, hybrid genetic algorithm, sensi-tivity analysis
