Abstract
In other chapters of this text, the various categories of mechanical, electrical, and chemical equipment installed in a typical coal-fueled power plant were discussed. For the power plant to run and produce electricity, the equipment in each category must be placed into operation to perform its intended function. The operation of the equipment must be coordinated to meet the demand of the electricity production process, and the production process must be regulated so that the cycle and the equipment are operated within design conditions. The plant control systems provides the necessary tools to enable the operators to orchestrate plant operation for the reliable and efficient production of electricity.
