This monograph presents new methodologies to improve power plants'
efficiency, by using automatic control algorithms. This will lead
to an improvement in companies' profit and also in the quality of
their final product. A trans-Atlantic combination of authors
ensures an unusually wide range of perspectives.
Many large-scale processes like refineries or power generation
plant are constructed using the multi-vendor system and a main
co-ordinating engineering contractor. With such a methodology. the
key process units are installed complete with local proprietary
control systems in place. Re-assessing the so called lower level
control loop design or structure is becoming less feasible or
desirable. Consequently, future comp~titive gains in large-scale
industrial systems will arise from the closer and optimised global
integration of the process sub-units. This is one of the inherent
commercial themes which motivated the research reported in this
monograph. To access the efficiency and feasibility of different
large-scale system designs, the traditional tool has been the
global steady-state analysis and energy balance. The process
industries have many such tools encapsu lated as proprietary design
software. However, to obtain a vital and critical insight into
global process operation a dynamic model and simulation is
necessary. Over the last decade, the whole state of the art in
system simulation has irrevocably changed. The Graphical User
Interface (G UI) and icon based simulation approach is now standard
with hardware platforms becoming more and more powerful. This
immediately opens the way to some new and advanced large-scale
dynamic simulation developments. For example, click-together blocks
from standard or specialised libraries of process units are
perfectly feasible now.
In the increasingly competitive modern world, the industrial sector faces new challenges such as improving productivity and reducing costs while taking into account the process operational constraints.As energy demand increases in many countries, especially in big cities where the environmental concerns are very important and resources to produce energy are limited, the efficiency of operation of power plants becomes of paramount importance.Under this scenario, this book presents new methodologies to improve power plants' efficiency, by using automatic control algorithms. This will lead to an improvement in the generation of companies' profit and also in the quality of their final product.
