Importance of Closed loop Controls
Different Closed Loop Controls used in boiler
Effect on boiler operation
CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
Concept of Closed Loop Control
Closed Loop Controls are mainly used to control any
process in its desire parameters to achieve maximum
efficiency of process.
A closed loop control is a series of control operations,
including measuring an output, establishing what the
output should be, and taking action to correct it.
CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
Importance of Closed Loop Controls
Reduce errors by automatically adjusting the systems
input.
Improve stability of an unstable system.
Increase or reduce the systems sensitivity.
Enhance robustness against external disturbances to the
process.
Produce a reliable and repeatable performance.
 CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
Types of Closed Loop Controls in Boiler
Drum Level Control
1. There are two control valves used for drum level control
a. 30% control valve for lower load
b. 100% control valve for higher load
2. Closed loop control for drum level
a. 1E & 3E control at lower load < 30% steam flow
b. 3E Control at higher load > 30% steam flow
CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
 CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
Combustion Control
The function of this control loop is to maintain fuel gas
flow & combustion air flow in correct proportions to
achieve steam pressure at its desired set point.
Lead/Lag type of control is configured
Lead for Air & Lag for Fuel
Air Flow Control
Fuel Flow Control
Oxygen Trimming & Excess air
