Abstract
In a steam and power cogeneration system optimization results for steam flow and power are calculated off-line recurrently based on actual demand and control is effected on a multiplane basis upon selection of a new plane of control defined by a new status and configuration of the system network, the optimization results for such particular plane being selected and control performed at the time of plane change. Pressure reducing valves are positioned initially at the time of plane change in accordance with the optimization results for the new plane. Pressure reducing valves are positioned for flow tuning about such initial valve positioning.
