Abstract

The power output variability of renewable power generators challenges not only renewable plant operators but also conventional plant operators, who have to be flexible in their response to changing load conditions caused by that variability. Modern control systems for power plants must, therefore, be able to deal with a greater number of activities and a higher volume of information than traditional control systems - as well as comply with strict national grid codes. They must also achieve total plant automation by providing a system platform that improves efficiency, productivity and operations. Further, when used as remote management systems, they need to optimize multiple power plants.
