A method and system for the temperature control of superheated steam in a power plant having a boiler coupled to a turbine, and a turbine bypass valve, wherein temperature control is achieved by regulating opening of the turbine bypass valve. To this end, process quantities indicative of the superheated steam temperature at the boiler outlet, the superheated steam pressure, the turbine inlet temperature, the turbine inner wall metal temperature, and the degree of opening of the turbine bypass valve are fed into a control system in which a mismatch temperature capable of leading steam into the turbine is calculated on the basis of such received process quantities. Then the control system outputs opening or closing operation command signals to the turbine bypass valve. The method is suitable to be carried out by means of a microprocesser.

Method and system for controlling boiler superheated steam temperature

A method of controlling the start of a thermal power plant having a turbine, a boiler for generating superheated steam to drive the turbine, a fuel source for supplying fuel to the boiler, fuel supply controller for controlling the fuel supply from the fuel source to the boiler, and the like. The method includes a step for calculating a desired temperature of combustion gas in the boiler and, in addition, a step of feeding a process factor indicative of the start mode of the turbine. Hence the temperature of combustion gas in the boiler is controlled according not only to the start condition of the boiler but also to the start condition of the turbine, thus reducing the time necessary to start the thermal power plant.

Method and system for controlling the start of a thermal power plant

In a system of controlling the operation of a plant by using a digital computer, operation control procedures are classified according to various states of the plant process variables. The control procedures comprise essential break points of the plant running, and process controlling operations, process supervision operations, information display operations and other processings related to the Tables corresponding to the operation control procedures are prepared containing classified items which are described according to a predetermined format. The contents of the tables are converted into machine words and stored in the memory device of the computer. The computer is provided with means responsive to a changed process signal from the plant for selecting a table corresponding to the changed process signal (representing a changed state) to form an operating signal which is used to control the plant. There is also provided means for displaying and modifying the content of a selected table. This permits ready modification or addition to the tables by the computer itself.
