Combined research and curriculum development for power plant intelligent distributed control

An NSF project, combined research and curriculum development for power plant intelligent distributed control, was conducted from 1992 to 1996, and expanded to a power system intelligent coordinated control project. Two new graduate courses were developed for power plant control. The capstone power plant intelligent distributed control course covers: (1) real-time large scale power plant simulations using UNIX network programming; (2) distributed implementation of advanced controls in an architecture of workstations and microprocessor-based controllers; and (3) intelligent controls using fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms. Along with the curriculum development update, a summary of significant research activities is presented in order to provide a complete overview of the results of the projects.
