Abstract
A controlling device that includes a model that predicts the value of a measured signal obtained when an operation signal is given to a thermal power generation plant, a function that learns a method of generating a model input such that a model output satisfies the plant value, a function that determines an operation signal to be given to the plant according to the learning result, a database that stores measured signal limit values set in advance, an external input interface that fetches measured signals from the plant, a measured signal database that stores the values of the fetched measured signals, and a function that determines an initial value of the plant model output value by using limit values of the measured signals and at least one of an average value, a maximum value, and a minimum value that are calculated from the measured signals stored in a measured signal database.
