Advanced Automation ofr Pwer-Generation Plants-past, Present and Future

摘要

Toshiba is designing next-generation control room which promises safer and more stable operation based on use of "safewar" and an integrated design ocncept. THis paper discusses advanced methods and technologies for automating power-generation plants. First of all, the historical development of plant-automation technologies are summarized, then, Toshiba GSXP sub TM as a typical present-day system is introduced. Finally, as an example of a next-generation system applying advanced system technologies, tree on-gong studies and future control-room design are introduced.
