A PLC based control system for a cogeneration plant
This paper describes the system used to control a 2.7 MW, duel-fuel cogeneration plant. The plant was developed according to the constraints and objectives presented herein. Discussion of certain design decisions is included, along with a description of the plant/utility interface and a list of subsystems. A post-start up analysis offers a view of the project enhanced by hindsight. The facility includes three turbo-charged gas engines, 18 heat exchangers, storage and compressors for natural gas and for digester gas, distribution switchgear and controls for parallel operation with the utility, and a serial link to the plant distributed control system (DCS). The CMS is primarily a monitoring and reporting system, but it must have two-way communication capability, handle several thousand data points, and be expandable by 50 percent. The plant control philosophy is to utilize independent 'Main Control Panels' in each process unit. These panels provide monitoring, control, and alarm capability locally, and serve as the marshalling point for interface with the overall plant monitoring system. There are a total of six such panels, two of which include Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's).
