Advanced computer system applications in operation and control of a very large electrical plant in a petrochemical complex

A particular digital control system is presented, for application in the control of the power distribution system in a very large petrochemical complex located in Northern Sardinia, Italy. The generating power station is equipped by four 200 MW turbogenerators installed and interconnected to the public supply network and a distribution system over 21 substations inside the petrochemical plant. A dedicated microcomputer network interconnected to a host computer allows the monitoring and control of the plant's power system.<
