Abstract

The authors focus on the integrated operation and management system of the combined power generating equipment, with emphasis on new technologies incorporated. Yanai Power Plant uses the latest technology for liquid natural gas (LNG) fueled combined cycle power plants. Operation and management systems have been improved over previous versions by integration. Operations performed independently in conventional power plants, such as monitoring operations, maintenance work, general business, management work, etc., have been combined and systematized using the latest computer and digital control/communication technology. Such operations as calculation, record keeping, storing of large volumes of data, and high-speed transmission of information are under computer control. Aiding the operators is an artificial intelligence inference system and an extensive database
