2. The Heartbeat
of Power Plants -
Control Systems
• Thermal power plants are the
backbone of modern electricity
generation.

3. The Big Picture: Why
Control Systems Matter
• Maintains stable power output
• Optimizes fuel efficiency and minimizes emissions
• Ensures plant safety by preventing equipment
malfunctions
• Provides real-time data for plant monitoring and
optimization

4. Key Areas of Control: A
Breakdown
• Combustion Control: Manages fuel and air
supply for efficient and clean burning
• Boiler-Turbine Control: Regulates steam
pressure, temperature, and flow for
optimal power generation
• Balance of Plant Control: Oversees auxiliary
systems like cooling water and ash handling

5. Combustion Control: The
Art of Precise Burning
• Monitors fuel flow, air intake, and
furnace temperature
• Maintains optimal air-to-fuel ratio
for efficient combustion
• Minimizes emissions of pollutants
like NOx and SOx

6. Taming the Steam:
Boiler-Turbine Control
• Regulates steam pressure, temperature,
and flow from the boiler
• Ensures safe operation within turbine
design limits
• Optimizes power generation by
matching steam supply to turbine
demand

7. The Silent Partners:
Balance of Plant Control
Oversees auxiliary systems like cooling
water, ash handling, and flue gas
treatment
Maintains power-plant efficiency and
environmental compliance
Ensures safe operation of supporting
equipment

8. The Evolving Landscape: Advanced Control
Techniques
INCORPORATION OF ADVANCED
ALGORITHMS FOR PROCESS
OPTIMIZATION
MODEL-PREDICTIVE CONTROL FOR
PROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS
INTEGRATION WITH MACHINE
LEARNING FOR PREDICTIVE
MAINTENANCE

9. The Hands
on Deck: The
Role of the
Human
Operator
Provides overall supervision
and decision-making
Monitors system performance
and identifies potential issues
Intervenes in case of
emergencies or unexpected
situations

10. Communication is Key: The
Network Backbone
• Provides real-time communication between
control system components
• Enables data exchange and synchronization
between subsystems
• Ensures reliable and secure operation of the
control network

11. Safety First: Safeguarding the Plant and Personnel
INTEGRATION OF SAFETY INTERLOCKS
TO PREVENT EQUIPMENT
MALFUNCTIONS
REAL-TIME MONITORING OF CRITICAL
PARAMETERS FOR EARLY EVENT
DETECTION
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURES FOR SAFE PLANT
SHUTDOWN IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS

12. Conclusion: The
Symphony of Efficiency
• Control systems are the backbone of
efficient and safe thermal power plant
operation
• Advancements in control technology
continue to optimize performance and
environmental impact
• Skilled operators remain crucial for safe
and reliable power generation
