The power industry is increasingly affected by several trends, which require improvements in the distributed generation and control systems of on-site power. These trends include the ability to share load across generators more effectively, seamless sequencing of generators, and the ability to monitor and control power that is being produced. Electronic control systems can provide these advantages in a cost effective solution. The application of electronic controls to a power distribution system requires a thorough development program. It is imperative to assure that the controls will provide reliable, long-term performance, as well as meeting the plant’s current and future needs for power distribution. This paper describes the development and field evaluation required to apply electronic controls to existing switchgear and power distribution systems in the power generation industry. The microprocessor based electronic control system for today’s power plants replaces out-dated analog equipment and antiquated relay logic. The new systems incorporate three main functions: Paralleling generators, monitoring power requirements, and effective sequencing of generators in power plants. Integration of these functions into the microprocessor based control system provides increased reliability, reduced cost, and enhanced performance, while concurrently providing increased flexibility in the operation of the plant. Additional benefits can be realized including reduced operator requirements, reduced training costs, and reduced burden on instrumentation electricians. A primary focus of this paper is the process used to qualify the control system needed for specific types of existing distributed power systems. This process consists of current system evaluation and categorization, establishment of classification of plant (utility, merchant plant, peak shaving facility, IPP), and determining the future needs of individual plants for power distribution. Local regulatory and utility protection and interconnect requirements must also be assessed to assure that the new control system meets or exceeds them. Methods of accurately monitoring, improving performance, and providing generator sequencing are defined, including accounting for improvements in the long-term expansion of the distributed power control and monitoring system.

Operating Points

Pulp and paper processes frequently present nonlinear behavior, which means that process dynam-ics change with the operating points. These nonlinearities can challenge process control. PID controllers are the most popular controllers because they are simple and robust. However, a fixed set of PID tuning parameters is gen-erally not sufficient to optimize control of the process. Problems related to nonlinearities such as sluggish or oscilla-tory response can arise in different operating regions. Gain scheduling is a potential solution. In processes with mul-tiple control objectives, the control strategy must further evaluate loop interactions to decide on the pairing of manipulated and controlled variables that minimize the effect of such interactions and hence, optimize controller’s performance and stability. Using the CADSIM Plus™ commercial simulation software, we developed a Jacobian sim-ulation module that enables automatic bumps on the manipulated variables to calculate process gains at different operating points. These gains can be used in controller tuning. The module also enables the control system designer to evaluate loop interactions in a multivariable control system by calculating the Relative Gain Array (RGA) matrix, of which the Jacobian is an essential part.
