Prerequisites
Prior completion of OV330-WIN and either OV200-WIN-3.0.X or OV200-WIN-3.1.X is strongly recommended. A working knowledge of control systems and control theory is required.
Description
This course is designed for those who maintain or troubleshoot control strategies related to boiler control within the Ovation system. This course is intended for students who will implement their own control programs, or who will make significant modifications to existing programs. Using previous control-building knowledge, the student will learn how to implement design pertinent to boiler controls in an Ovation environment. This course is a continuation of the control topics discussed in more basic control classes. The course will emphasize the proper selection, configuration, and application of algorithms in a typical Ovation boiler control system.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, using the reference material provided,
the student will be able to:
Understand the basic concepts of the steaming process in a boiler and its water-steam and fuel air-flue gas systems
Describe the control strategies behind these systems
Demonstrate the functions of Ovation control algorithms
Combine these Ovation algorithms into functional building blocks for a control strategy
Understand the basic strategy behind unit (boiler-turbine) coordinated control and what relevant data is needed to scale the unit coordinated control
