제목 Optimal operation of sootblowing system using a modified Q-leaning algorithm to maximize recovery boiler efficiency
초록 Here, this work proposed optimal operating sequence of sootblowing system to maximize recovery boiler efficiency using a modified Q-learning algorithm. The suggested modified Q-learning algorithm derived the Q-matrix which is a function that predicts the expected dynamic reward (priority for ash deposits removal) of performing a given action (sootblowing) and a given state (each sootblowing location) based on Markov decision process. The reward matrix is continually updated through reward update matrix considering the decrease heat transfer rate according to ash deposits. To develop reward update matrix, we proposed the mathematical equation of heat transfer rate according to temperature difference, deposit thickness growth rate and thermal conductivity of ash deposits. As a result, the power generation increase by 214 kW through optimal sequence without any retrofitting of boiler.
