The level of thermal power automation is introduced, especially for 200 MW and above units which are clarified into three categories by grade. The conditions, existing problems, relevant solutions and policies are summarized chronologically in aspects of centralized control, automatic regulation and controllability of main and auxiliary units, turbine control system, furnace security protection, and computer application in thermal power plants.

文摘A review on thermal power plant automation development in China over 50 years is presented. The level of thermal power automation is introduced, especially for 200 MW and above units which are clarified into three categories by grade. The conditions, existing problems, relevant solutions and policies are summarized chronologically in aspects of centralized control, automatic regulation and controllability of main and auxiliary units, turbine control system, furnace security protection, and computer application in thermal power plants. This paper also points out the development tendency of thermal power plant automation and concepts of some vocabularies.
