A study on the remote MW control of a steam turbine

The electricity demand has been in the trend of increase for the past 30 years except last year due to economic crisis. The central electrical power dispatch center anticipates each and every hour's electricity demand and dispatch every power plant's output(MW) taking into account of the costs, frequency regulation abilities, locations, reliabilities and so on. to meet the demand as quickly as possible. The large portion of the power plants' output is contolled automatically by the AGC(Automatic Generation Control) function which is a part of the EMS(Energy Manage System) computer in the dispatch center. To receive the electrical power dispatch signal from the EMS, a power plant should have a remote MW control feature in the turbine control system or unit master control system. We investigated the AGC function and a power plant's remote MW control configuration.
