INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL IN POWER PLANTS VIRTUAL

In simple term, control means to regulate, direct, command or govern. This act is as old as human history and civilization. The earliest form of control in human affairs is the interaction with fire. Indeed, everything requires a form of control without which the system or process will get out of hand or fail. The most common sources of control are human and nature. A Control System thus an arrangement or combination of components connected or related in such a manner as to regulate, direct, command or govern itself or another system which provides a desired output or response to a given input or stimulus. This course aims at enabling the trainee to understand the instruments used in the power industry and their applications in control of generating plants. Understand the operational principle of Instrumentation equipment and devices; in addition to understanding generic instrumentation systems, participants have the opportunity of participating in hands-on practical demonstration and in the use of a real time laboratory power mini-plant.
