Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This report focuses on the implementation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) for boiler feed water pumps at the Lalpir Power Limited thermal power plant in Pakistan. The main objective was to reduce the plant's electrical house load by converting the control of three boiler feed water pumps to VVVF drives. This involved designing and developing a comprehensive system, including a graphic user interface, protection system, pump sequence control, bypass system, speed control, drum level control via VVVF drives, and PID controller tuning. The report highlights the challenges faced due to the lack of data from the pumps OEM, emphasizing the innovative solutions developed for effective control and protection.
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
