This paper presents the development of Distributied Control System for Bookjeju fossil plant. The original analog control system for the power plants has a complex and large-scale structure in their hardware configuration and much difficulties have been experienced for maintenance due to lack of original components. This system connects three different control systems in Bookjeju fossil plant by cue network, The result shows that optimal Distributied Control System has standardization of control system, effective operation management and convenient maintenance of power plant.

In this paper, a real-time communication method using a PICNET-NP(Plant instrumentation and Control Network for Nuclear Power plant) is proposed with an analysis of the control network requirements of DCS(Distributed Control System) in nuclear power plants. The method satisfies deadline in case of worst data traffics by considering aperiodic and periodic real-time data and others. In addition, the method was used to analyze the data characteristics of the DCS in existing nuclear power plant. The result shows that use of this method meets the response time requirement(100ms).

The goal of this paper is to develope the control program based on model which can be applied to 1000MW class coal fired thermal power plant. 1000MW class power plant has the higher efficiency and lower cost because the steam conditions of the ultra super-critical process are higher than them of the previous power plants in temperature and pressure. The program includes the state variable controls which have the desired characteristics for the higher temperature and pressure. The program had been developed successfully using advanced process control. The simulation results using the new control program showed the better performance and safer control than them of the previous control program and we could verify the application possibility of the new program for the actual power plant through the load test, comparison, analysis and tuning.

A control system for solar thermal power plant is the control system to coordinate the whole system's operation, including management of distributed control systems, process control for optimal operation of total system, monitoring system operating conditions and doing administrative functions. This work, as a progress report, presents the results obtained so far in building a control system for the 1MW solar thermal power plant. To make the control system, we first defined the control system's hierarchy and classified the role of each layer. Then, as the first stage of making control system, we designed and developed the sun tracking control system for heliostat.

This paper focuses on design of nonlinear power plant controller using immune based multiobjective fuzzy approach. The thermal power plant is typically regulated by the fuel flow rate, the spray flow rate, and the gas recirculation flow rate. However, Strictly maintaining the steam temperature can be difficult due to heating value variation to the fuel source, time delay changes in the main steam temperature. the change of the dynamic characteristics in the steam-turbine system. Up to the present time, PID Controller has been used to operate this system. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the gain of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error. These parameters tuned by multiobjective based on immune network algorithms could be used for the tuning of nonlinear power plant.

Recently, tidal power generation has gained much attention. South Korea's tidal power generation systems were imported from abroad by turnkey type and have being operated. Therefore, for efficient operation and technological independence of a tidal power system, development of core technology is required. This paper deals with the start stop control system of water turbine generator in the tidal power plant, as one of our development project results. Using the SCADA system, the status and operations of water turbine generator in the tidal power plant, as well as simulation for calculation of maximum power were carried out. A small model type of start stop control device was also developed. In addition, the control system in Sihwa tidal power plant was modeled, and the results obtained by the dynamic simulation were given in graphics by 2D simulator.

The wave power plant is a generating system to convert the wave energy resources to electric energy. ´CHUJEON A´, which is a prototype of wave power plant developed by KORDI(Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute), has been launched for its performance test. A wound rotor induction machine is adopted as a generator for the power plant to acquire constant frequency and voltage over wide range of rotor speed. Because the generator of ´CHUJEON A´ has no connection to the power grid line on land, all of the processes to generate and consume the electricity have to be conducted on the floating plant. This paper deals with the design and implementation of the unmanned control system for ´CHUJEON A´. The system includes generator control system, power conversion and charging system, data acquisition and wireless communication system ...

For providing good quality power steadily, it is required that operators manipulate the control system of power plant with the good knowledge of power plant system and the control strategies, and cope with accidents effectively. With those requirements, it is general to train operators in power plant control room using full-scope simulator. A full scope simulator adopts the I&C instruments in the main cotrol room, so has to include I/O interface system to interface the simulation computer with I&C instruments in main control room. In already developed simulators, most of I/O interface systems are closed. vendor-dependent. proprietary systems. so have the many disadvantages in terms of cost and maintenance. In this paper. we suggest the method to configure I/O interface system for Thermal Power Plant Simulator based on standard technology which gives the advantages of ease-of-use. cost effectiveness, and simplicity of maintenanceuse by using off-the-shelf products for system integration.

Almost domestic power plants are being operated by foreign distributed control system. Many korean power plants are being operated over their lifetime so they need to be retrofitted. So we are developing the distributed control system to solve this problem by our own technique. The simulator was already made to verify the reliability of the algorithms. The unit loop function tests of all algorithms were finished in the actual distributed control system for installation of power plant and their results were satisfactory. The unit loop function tests are for each unit equipment algorithm. So the total operation tests will be made with all algorithms together in the actual distributed control system to be applied to power plant. When the verification through all tests is finished, algorithms with hardware will be scheduled to be installed and operated in the actual power plant. This research result will contribute to the safe operation of the deteriorated power plant and korean electric power supply as well as domestic technical progress. This entire processes and results for the development are written for the example of boiler feedwater master algorithm out of all algorithms in this paper.

The CAN is a serial communication protocol for distributed real-time control and automation systems. Data generated from field devices in the distributed control of power plant are classified into three categories: real-time event data, real-time control data, non-real-time data. These data share a CAN medium. If the traffic of the CAN protocol is not efficiently controlled, performance requirements of the power plant system could not be satisfied. This paper proposes a bandwidth allocation algorithm that can be applicable to the CAN protocol. The bandwidth allocation algorithm not only satisfies the performance requirements of the real-time systems in the power plant but also fully utilizes the bandwidth of CAN. The bandwidth allocation algorithm introduced in this paper is validated using the integrated discrete-event/continuous-time simulation model which comprises the CAN network and distributed control system of power plant.
