Control method for operating a heat recovery steam generator
View Patent ↗A control method for operating a heat recovery steam generator having a flue gas channel in which an evaporator, having at least two evaporator heating surfaces arranged successively in the flue gas channel and at least one intermediate heating surface arranged between the evaporator heating surfaces, is provided, the method including determining a characteristic value characteristic of the heat absorption in the evaporator for the evaporator heating surfaces, additionally determining for the at least one intermediate heating surface, an additional characteristic value for the heat absorption of the intermediate heating surface, and subtracting this additional characteristic value from the characteristic value characteristic of the heat absorption in the evaporator.
1. A control method for operating a heat recovery steam generator having a flue gas channel in which an evaporator, having at least two evaporator heating surfaces arranged successively in the flue gas channel and at least one intermediate heating surface arranged between the evaporator heating surfaces, is provided, the method comprising:
determining a characteristic value characteristic of the heat absorption in the evaporator for the evaporator heating surfaces,
additionally determining for the at least one intermediate heating surface, an additional characteristic value for the heat absorption of the intermediate heating surface,
subtracting this additional characteristic value for the at least one intermediate heating surface from the characteristic value characteristic of the heat absorption in the evaporator to obtain a corrected value, and
controlling via a control unit a feed water mass flow rate or a feed water quantity of the heat recovery steam generator based on the corrected value.
2. The control method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the heat absorption of the at least one intermediate heating surface is determined with the aid of parameters of the flue gas in the region of an inlet tube and an outlet tube of the intermediate heating surface.
3. The control method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the heat absorption of the at least one intermediate heating surface is determined with the aid of parameters of a flow medium, which flows through the intermediate heating surface, in the region of an inlet tube and an outlet tube of the intermediate heating surface.
