    Abstract

    This paper is concerned with the design of advanced algorithms to
    optimally implement a desired set point change whilst satisfying operational
    variable constraints in large power plants. In common with many process
    control applications it is not possible to move from one power plant operating
    condition to another instantaneously. Previous ad-hoc methods to automate the
    transition usually involves ramping the setpoint over some pre-determined
    time horizon and implicitly satisfying the operational and safety constraints.
    The design of optimal methods for the implementation of future set points
    trajectories is addressed here using the techniques of Generalised Predictive
    Control (GPC) for large scale systems. A generic unit of Combined Heat and
    Power (CHP) unit is employed as an example.
