Improving plant automation and operational flexibility
In this chapter we shall describe modern practices to improve the operational flexibility of conventional power plant, including characteristics of highly automated systems designed to improve start-up times and reduce the operator's role in direct plant control, in both normal and abnormal situations. We shall also examine the design outlines of modern boiler/turbine coordinated controls to provide fast ramping capability and wider, more stable frequency regulation performance.
