An Introduction to Control and Instrumentation for Steam Power Plants

 

 

 

 

Course Description:

 

This course provides an introduction to instrumentation and controls for steam boilers and power generating plants.

 

Learning Objectives:

 

Upon successful completion of this course:

  • Learn how analog control is the representation of quantities by means of physical variables such as current, air pressure, voltage, rotation, resistance, electromagnetic field (EMF), etc.
  • Learn about microprocessor-based control stations that are a digital stand alone single controller type, or a split-architecture control system offering powerful, configurable control capability on a modular basis
  • Learn how direct digital control can perform all of the control functions, operator displays and graphics, reports and calculations for efficiency and controller tuning, or a computer can be used as a supervisory control for analog control system, microprocessor based control units, or as a data logger with graphic displays
  • Learn why maintenance and calibration is a necessity regardless of the type of control equipment being used
  • Learn the function of combustion control which comprises a series of devices on a boiler developed to satisfy steam demands automatically and economically by controlling furnace combustion rates through adjustments of the burning components while maintaining a constant set point (such as a fixed but adjustable pressure or temperature) and an optimum (adjustable) ratio of fuel to air
  • Learn why steam turbine controls should be supplied with the rapid advancement of electronics, and an electrohydraulic control (ehc) system
