This course introduces thermal power plant
processes and dynamics that are impacted by
efforts to improve ramp rates, widen operating
load ranges and provide frequency response
services, and describes control strategies and
tuning methods to improve ramping
performance. For coal-fired plants, impacts
include increased component thermal stress,
steam temperature and pressure excursions,
reduced efficiency and load- following accuracy,
and low-load limits imposed by emissions
reduction equipment.
