Abstract: Abstract Simulation based optimisation of boiler operation and boiler design is a key technology for minimizing investment and operation costs of coal fired power plants. Simulation based optimisation requires to transform the real plant process into the virtual reality of a mathematical 3D-boiler model. Potential combustion problems (e.g. wall corrosion, increased carbon loss, etc.) can be identified in the virtual reality and be avoided before they become expensive reality. Today’s boiler models range from 5-10 Mio. grid points of resolution. Such high resolution models have to be calculated on high-performance supercomputers like the high performance computing installation NEC-SX8. This paper is intended to present the current status of boiler modelling technology.
