Abstract:

China's power plant thermal process automation has experienced from scratch, from weak to strong changes. The history of power plant thermal process automation was briefly reviewed, the present situation of power plant thermal automation was analyzed, technologies were discussed such as the control system optimization, fieldbus control system(FCS), distributed control system (DCS), automatic plant start-up and shut down system(APS), digitization, centralization and intelligent. The main problems and the direction of development in the future were put forward.

Key words: automation, distributed control system (DCS), smart power plant
