Optimization and Monitoring of 210MW Power Plant Boiler

Abstract

This paper features on implementing the governor control automatically in steam turbines in the boilers that can be used in power plants. It mainly focuses on controlling the speed of the PA, ID, FD fans. Thus the boiler parameters in the boiler are constantly monitored and the steam is generated according to the need. The automation can be easily done using Remote Terminal Units (RTU) or PLC (SCADA). The turbine speed can be controlled and monitored. The SCADA is used to monitor the system, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is also used for the internal storage of instruction for the implementing function such as arithmetic, counting, timing, sequencing and logic to control through digital or analog input/output modules various types of machines processes.
