Boiler Temperature Level Measurement And Control System

Abstract

Monitoring the Boiler is a very difficult process in the power generation system. It is also a procedure
where lot of man power is required. Also in many cases where the generations are in remote
locations, and also it has bigger size so it is difficult for people to be near the boiler all the time.
Hence there is a requirement of a system that can reduce the man power required and also increase
the efficiency of the system.

The project proposes a system where in using the power lines itself as the communication medium
the substation can be monitored and also controlled from another location, like a electricity office in
a city. Using power lines has major advantages over the ordinary techniques like GSM and wireless
communication because it is easier to implement and also low cost. Additionally since the power
lines are already existing there is no additional need for communication medium like phone lines or
internet etc.

In this project the various parameters from a turbine will be taken using appropriate devices and
sensors. These parameters will then be transmitted over the power lines using digital
communication. For this PLCC modems will be used that can transmit and receive digital data over
the existing power lines, along with the power itself.

On the receiving side the data can be separated from the power lines and can be viewed on a
computer or other display devices like LCD displays. Thus enabling easy monitoring of substations
that are in remote locations. Additionally since the project uses bi directional data transfer even
control is possible.

Existing System

1. In the Existing System, manpower is required for monitoring.

2. The Boiler which are located in remote places are very difficult to monitor

Proposed System

1. In the proposed system Power Line is used for Boiler monitoring and control process
2. User can control boiler parameter form control room.
3. Is a very low cost system and hence can be used by even small scale industries.
