General Information
Demands on Modern Automation
Today, in all fields of engineering, industrial production which
is economical and at the same
time goes easy on resources
and environment is not possible
without a high degree of automation. Process control systems
used for the automation of power
stations must meet particularly
high requirements for increased
availability, large functional range
and decentralized architecture.
Our ME 4012 process control system meets these high demands.
Not only does it provide all the
facilities necessary for the acquisition, preparation and processing of
plant data; it is also equipped with
sufficient intelligence for sequence
and closed-loop control tasks and
for the monitoring and optimization
of plants and plant components.
Observation, monitoring and
operator control of the plant as a
whole are done in a central control
room equipped with monitors.
The architecture of the ME 4012
process control system is based
on the decentralized, redundant
SUB-NET process bus, the
AE4012 programmable controllers
and the ME-VIEW operator control
and process monitoring system.
ME 4012 structures the entire
process in a hierarchy of horizontal
control levels thus fulfilling the
different tasks of the plant:
Interfacing to plant and
processes
S
equence, logic and closed-loop
control of individual drives
Individually automated function
groups providing a high degree
of plant automation
In addition, the plant is sectioned
vertically into a number of
functional units. This division is
governed by criteria such as:
Process correlations
Standby requirements
Minimization of signal exchange
ME4012 ensures complete
standby facilities in the areas of
data communication and operator
control.
Economical Solutions
The hardware of the ME 4012 process control system is of modular
design. Therefore, with ME4012
you will be able to find a made-tomeasure solution for your specific
problem whatever the automation
task is.
Economical solutions for small applications may comprise just one
AE 4012 programmable controller. These can be expanded as
required, responding to increasing
demands in the areas of:
Plant and process control
Geographical expansion
Standby and redundant
configurations
Plant automation
Auxiliary machinery can easily be
integrated using the programmable
controller which is compatible
with the process bus and can be
configured and programmed by
the machine manufacturer.
Field-proven Solutions and
Technological Know-how
For many years now, our application experts have proven their
experience and know-how in the
design of automation and process
control schemes for technological
processes in the fields of:
Block-type thermal power stations (lignite or coal boilers)
Fail-safe burner control (oil,
gas or coal)
Steam turbine control
Gas turbine control
Flue gas desulfurization
DeNOx plants / Ammonia (NH3)
tank farms
Coaling plants, supply and
disposal installations
Waste incineration
Water treatment
Water power stations
Training schemes for power
station control
Field instruments and installation
For all applications mentioned in
this Reference List we supplied the
control system (inner plant control).
In almost all cases, we also provided, installed and commissioned
the complete instrumentation,
measuring and control equipment
for the process peripherals. This
includes in particular the transducers for measured quantities such
as temperature, pressure, flow,
level, water and flue gas analysis,
revolutions per minute, position
etc.
according to the high technical
VGB Standards, R 170 C (VGB
=German Association of the
Power Station Industries).
Equipment and systems are usually installed by our own personnel.
Our responsibilities also cover the
installation of hook-ups according
to our own design, and all pipework in connection with stepping
lines, which is mostly welded and
always carried out using standard
and quality-approved conduit
material. The frames required
for the installation of transducers
and the cable subdistributors are
manufactured by ourselves to
the highest quality standards and
adapted to the specific application.
Modernization of hydraulic
systems (units, pipelines, control
modules) and adaptation on
existing machines
Inline components such as control
valves, fittings, covers, nozzles etc.
were purchased and provided by
us according to the specification
of the plant supplier or planning
engineers, ready for being installed
by the plant supplier.
Our project engineers prepare
hydraulic diagrams, define the
component specifications and
develop concepts for the constructing engineers. The configuration and design documentation
is created with 3D (Solid Works
Software (SW)) and 2D (Auto CAD
Software) systems.
After completion of all mounting and installation work by our
personnel, we commissioned the
systems and finally provided a
complete set of system documents
Hydraulic Mechanical Systems
The scope of our services
comprises:
Planning and layout of hydraulic
components and systems
Design and delivery of hydraulic
mechanical components
Optimization tests of all hydraulic
components in our own testing
bays before they are shipped
Commissioning of hydraulic
systems and plants
Delivery and installation of all
systems required for turbine

DeNOx Plant for Nitrogen Oxide
Reduction
Coal contains small amounts of
nitrogen that is partly formed into
nitrogen oxide during the combustion process. In the DeNOx plant,
the nitrogen oxide is removed from
the flue gases of the coal combustion process. This is done by
injecting ammonia into the flue gas
and then conveying the mixture
across catalyzers. A catalyzer
stimulates chemical reactions
but is chemically unchanged at
the end of the reaction (selective
catalytic reaction, SCR). In the
power station catalyzers, ammonia
and nitrogen oxide react with each
other and produce nitrogen and
steam, which are natural components of our breathing air.
Coal power station (Flue gas desulfurization)
Ammonia Tank Farm
Ammonia (NH3 ) is a chemical
compound derived from the
reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Ammonia is pungent smelling,
colorless, water-soluble and toxic
gas and must be safely stored and
transported in compliance with
the regulations of the Hazardous
Incident Ordinance. The necessary process control measures are
thus very complex, especially with
respect to the protection against
risk from fire and explosion.

Definition of Process Quality
There is not yet a generally accepted definition of the term
Process quality in conjunction
with power plant processes. We
use the definition illustrated in
Figure 1 on the basis of the following explanations.
Process Quality
Fig. 1
Index "IST" represents the actual
unit efficiency factor under the
present operating conditions.
Index "SOLL" represents the
maximum unit efficiency factor
theoretically possible under the
same operating conditions, or the
specific heat consumption determined for that unit.
The term Process quality can
therefore be understood as a
complex status description of the
overall system according to the
above definition. Determination of
the process quality by continuous
comparing actual and required
values allows efficient monitoring
of the entire power plant process.

Plant Management System
Monitoring the remaining service
life of components subjected to
high stress is an important task
in the responsible operation of a
power plant, which becomes even
more pressing the longer these
components stay in operation.
In order to assess the effects of
the operating conditions on the
life span of the steam generator
components, appropriate measurements and calculations must
be carried out. The analysis of
these results in compliance with
the specifications of the technical
rules and standards acc. to DIN EN
12952 provides information about
any reduction of the components
initial life expectancy that may
become necessary.
Service Life Management of
Mechanical Components
(components subjected to high
stress and pressure; failure is not
permitted)
Time-oriented Maintenance
Maintenance cycles are specified
on the basis of experience observing high safety margins. (Periodic
inner test 3 years max.).
The service life reserve of a
component can be continuously monitored with diagnostic
methods. When optimally implemented, this condition-oriented
maintenance represents the most
efficient way.
Failure-oriented maintenance
is the most efficient if safety and
availability of the overall system is
not a relevant factor.

Application example: Process
quality monitoring in power plant
Hafen Unit 6, 320MW for sustained system management and
efficiency enhancement
The process quality monitoring
system (PG) was modeled, and
thus on the basis of the valid data,
the closed water-steam cycle as
well as the air-flue gas system
including the fuel model.
The successful implementation in
the utility company swb generation, Hafen power plant Bremen,
coal unit 320MW, is used as a
reference example.
To enable online usage of this
important tool for plant efficiency
enhancement, the results of the
process quality monitoring (PG)
are entered in the ME-VIEW user
interface. Deviations from the
optimum capacity are displayed
in color and recorded by the
Process quality monitoring fluegas-air path
25
signalling system. The data is
transmitted over a bidirectional line
in the form of 5-minute values via a
database interface.
Some excerpts from the ME-VIEW
user interface are shown below:
