An integrated computational fluid dynamics–process model of natural circulation steam generation in a coal-fired power plant

This forms the framework for a new generation of virtual dynamic simulation software to accelerate progress towards achieving operational excellence for flexible, efficient, controllable, safe and environmentally sustainable thermal power plants and has changed the impact, adaptation, vulnerability and mitigation research. It reports on developing high-fidelity, distributed-parameter equipment models, and developing and applying innovative methods for reducing the complexity of dynamic PDE-based models, while preserving input-output behavior. This paper was the runner-up winner of the 2012 PSE Model-based International Innovation Prize (awarded at the AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012-USA) and led to Leeds involvement on a successful large EPSRC grant EP/K02115X/1-2013.
