Objective
Power stations are one of the major sources of environmental pollution, especially combined heat and power plants for electricity production and district heating. Since the liquid and gas fuel prices increase, the clean and efficient utilisation of solid fuel is getting more and more important for the economy of Kazakhstan.
Economic energy production was the only important consideration in the past. Today it is necessary to observe strict norms of harmful discharges and, at the same time, to improve the efficiency. Therefore, the aim of the current project is a three-dimensional computer simulation of Kazakhstan coal combustion to optimise this process with regard to the efficiency and the minimisation of pollutant emission. In Western Europe, there is a high level of experience in this field which could be used to solve the specific problems of Kazakhstan and other countries. This gives the New Independent States a tool to design power plants for a clean and efficient use of coal.
Real Kazakhstan power plants will serve as examples for all the research work. Thus, a steam generator from Pavlodar combined heat and power plant fired with Ekibastus coal will be chosen. This will also allow to compare the results of the computer simulation with experimental results.
After carrying out the numerical simulation on pulverised coal combustion in a furnace unit of a combined heat and power plant, it will be possible to characterise the fields of velocity, temperature, pressure and concentrations of all combustion products and harmful substances in particular. A lot of other informations of the combustion process will also be obtained all over the furnace space and at the combustion chambers outlet.
The results of the conducted numerical simulations will allow the elaboration of perfect methods for the combustion of solid fuels, having high water and high ash content. The results obtained can be used to increase the efficiency of combustion processes and to develop a concept of energy production from coal with a minimal amount of harmful discharges (i.e. lowering NOX emissions).
The results of this project play an important role for finding optimal combustion regimes and designing furnaces. The recommendations made will help power specialists in Kazakhstan to solve important ecological problems and to achieve economical power production.
