Control system upgrading for the hopper filling process units I, II and III in the Paipa Thermoelectric Company
Abstract
This document shows the current operation of the filling process of coal hoppers of the units I, II and III
Paipa Thermoelectric Company, Boyacá, Colombia. On this basis, a diagnosis of proposals for creating automate proposals of the process based on design criteria like the achievements and the limitations of the project and the requirements are established for the selection of controllers, sensing devices and actuators for manipulating the implicit variables in the process. Similarly possible changes in civil engineering machinery are established and specific systems with their impact on the performance process and ultimately the programming logic is designed for the programmable logic controller that was selected to run the process in manually, automatic and semiautomatic.
Keywords
sensors, programmable logic controller, process automation, productivity, quality, conversion technology, hopper filling system, power generation industry
