Abstract

Modelling and simulation is an important method in the study and design of power units. Because of the complexity of coal-fired power units, it is necessary to develop a kind of simulation software which can reflect the dynamic characteristic comprehensively. Generally, the professional simulation software of coal-fired power unit such as simulator made by professional company is very expensive and complex. In recent years, Matlab/Simulink has been applied to many research fields successfully, such as control, communication, modelling etc. In this paper, a simulation algorithm library of boiler system was built on Matlab/Simulink. The algorithm was developed with CMEX S-function, mask interface, MS-Function, Memory block, masked block and so on. Simulation model of a 1025t/h boiler system was constructed by the organic combination of algorithm in library. It is shown by simulation results that the algorithm library is comprehensive and universal; the dynamic characteristic of coal-fired power unit model is consistent with objects. The model can easily be applied to study control systems of power units because of the advantage of Matlab/Simulink.
