Modelling of power plants
Alberto Leva, Claudio Maffezzoni · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 2003
Modelling power plant processes may be approached from different points of view, depending on the purpose for which the model is intended. Here, we shall restrict the presentation to the case (most interesting for engineering) where the model is built to allow system simulation over a rather wide range of operation (non-linear model) and is based on first principles and design data. This specification naturally leads to a model structuring approach based on the representation of plant components and of their interconnections, with evidence given to variables and parameters corresponding to well-defined measurements or physical entities.
