Nuclear Power Plant Safety

In the last decade nuclear reactors have proven to be a source of electrical energy economically competitive with conventional means of power production. With the resulting increase in orders for nuclear power stations there has been a corresponding increase in public awareness of the safety and environmental aspects of these facilities. This public awareness has been evidenced by the number of...

IndustrialIT for Power Generation Power Plant Automation

Latest Power Plant Control System

OVERVIEW: Along with advances in system component technologies, modern state-of-the-art power plant control systems are being developed by incorporating such advanced technologies as extensive digitization of high-speed control circuits, interconnection with other equipment over open interfaces, and a repertory of diverse multiplexed systems. Based on Hitachi Integrated Autonomic Control System...

Future power plant control - Integrating

Today's power plants are highly automated. All subsystems of large thermal power plants can be controlled from a central control room. One subsystems area is the electrical auxiliaries for the unit transformer, the grid connection, excitation, synchronization, generator/unit protection, auxiliary transformers, HV-, MV-and LV-switchgear. In the past, these electrical devices were all hardwired t...
