Simulation of large state variations in steam power plants

This research monograph reports on the development and application of a new algorithm for the simulation of the dynamic behaviour of large-scale thermal systems when large static variations occur. To the latter belong, for example, the starting-up and shutting-down, or the irregular operation of the steam power plant, when a malfunction takes place.The objective of this system simulation is to reduce losses of heat and condensate and to minimize unavoidable thermal stresses.
