Abstract

Cogeneration plants are one of the major power generation sources in this era of industrialization and automation. Bagasse is a by-product generated by the sugar industries on a large scale in India. The cogeneration plants use the bagasse produced by the sugar industries to generate power. Boiler system forms one of the primary components of the cogeneration plant. Designing a virtual model of the boiler system will help to model optimal systems. Simulation of the performance of the boiler system will aid in predictive maintenance as well. In this paper, a virtual model of a boiler system for a bagasse unit is designed in the LabVIEW software package. Such kind of performance analysis aids in better designs of actual models and predictive maintenance, which in turn saves time and reduces unwanted expenditures due to failures.
