Synopsis

Significant changes over the past decade in computing technology, along with widespread deregulation of electricity industries, have impacted on power plant operations while affording engineers the opportunity to introduce monitoring and plant-wide control schemes that were previously unfeasible. Contributors of world-class excellence are brought together in Thermal Power Plant Simulation and Control to illustrate how current areas of research can be applied to power plant operation, leading to enhanced unit performance, asset management and plant competitiveness through intelligent monitoring and control strategies.

About this title

Synopsis:

An exploration of how advances in computing technology and current areas of research can be combined to extend the capabilities and economics of modern power plants. Significant changes in power generation have impacted on power plant operations while affording engineers the opportunity to introduce monitoring and plant wide control schemes which were previously unfeasible. Damien Flynn has brought together contributors from academic centres of excellence to engineers working in the field to illustrate how the various methodologies can be applied to power plant operation.
