Course Objective

Providing a continual source of electrical power, power plant must be high effient, get good operability, minimizing the environmental effects. The process control is reqired to meet these demanding and use easily. And considering energy market, minimizing plant operation and maintance cost. The aim of this course is to have an idea on process control in power plant.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understanding of role of power plant in power system with respect to frequency and power control.
2   Understanding of implication of primary, secondary and tertiary control on power plant operation and operational effciency
3   Differentiation of control startegies and evaluation of impact of control system performance on plant life cycle.
4   Setting up simulation experiments focused on optimal plant scheduling in changing power market conditions
5   Develop the students analytical and practical abilities to conduct a project on process control of power plant
