A fieldbus-based fuel and energy management simulation system for thermal power plant

The contradiction between industrialization and the environmental protection as well as the energy saving has become the main restriction to the economic development of many countries in the world. In order to achieve the goal of sustainable development, it is a crucial strategy to greatly promote the actions about energy saving and emission reduction in coal-fired power plants. This paper just focuses on it by fuel management. Through studying the process of the fuel order, bespeaking, blending, acceptance and statistic, this paper analyzed how to save energy and reduce emission. On this basis, a fuel management system based on the CANbus is designed, which includes the subsystems of fuel order, fuel bespeaking, fuel blending, fuel acceptance and fuel statistic, and holds the aim that to automatically supervise, control and manage the consumption of energy and also provide the support and conduction to the managers.
