Abstract:
This Thesis sets out the control principle, which governs the
design of automatic control for Khartoum North Power Station, Fuel
Oil Forwarding Pumps. It also provides an outline design for such
control systems.
The incentive for having effective automatic control is to ensure
that the plant can meet system requirements and the operational
constraints.
Efforts to make the station suitable for the flexibility requirement,
therefore, involve both remedial action, involving detailed analysis of
the problems or existing faults, and betterment, involving acceptance of
the need for extended facilities.
The design of modern plant is such that the integrity of the whole
is as dependent on the reliability of a host of minor auxiliary items as it
is on that of major plant items. In general, performance shortfalls in one
area lead to difficulties in another. It follows that the various control
activities must be carried out within an overall integrated design
strategy.
In general, this Thesis does not go beyond the functional
specification level. It is strictly limited to control and
instrumentation systems of Khartoum North Power Station
Fuel Oil Forwarding Pumps pressure control, and does not
deal with shortfalls in the design or performance of existing
plant.
