Anticipatory Generation Control of Fossil Power Plant for Large and Rapid Recurring Load Fluctuations |
Abstract |
Most fossil steam generating units are currently being designed for base load operation and are not therefore generally suitable for large and rapid recurring load fluctuations. In particular the control systems adopted for such units are not adequate for the severe recurrent load fluctuations. In particular the control systems adopted for such units are not adequate for the severe recurrent load fluctuations that are expected by the plant supplying the power requirements of the electric are furnaces and rolling mills employed by the steel industry. This paper presents a feasible Anticipatory Control Algorithm which ensures that the fossil fuel fired plant can meet such severe requirements from the control point of view. Details of such a control algorithm and its dynamic simulation on a sample power system are also presented. |
