The Process Computer System provides performance monitoring and control, and power generator control subsystem functions to provide efficient plant operation and automation. 

Fig. 1. Pressurized water reactor (PWR) coolant system having U-tube steam generators typical of the 3—4 loops in nuclear power plants. PWR plants having once-through steam generators contain two reactor coolant pump-steam generator loops. CVCS = chemical and volume-control system.

In SVCs Ihe number of switchings is of no relevance, as they arc free from inrush currents. Switching is performed at the instant when the cuiTcnt wave is passing through its natural zero. Static devices in various combinations and feedback control systems, which may be computer-aided, can tilmost instantaneously (< I cycle) generate or absorb reactive power, as may be demanded by the system. Correction... 

A few TCRs to balance the reactive power supply. They may generate harmonics, which must be suppressed to avoid any resonance. T.SCs and TCRs are monitored through a feedback control system,... 

Thermal energy, power generation, and incineration have several factors in common. All rely on combustion, which causes the release of air pollutants all exhaust their emissions at elevated temperatures and all produce large quantities of ash when they consume solid or residual fuels. The ratio of the energy used to control pollution to the gross energy produced can be a deciding factor in the selection of the control system. These processes have important differences which influence the selection of specific systems and devices for individual facilities. 

Selection and insteillation of an integrated air pollution control system do not end the concern of the utility industry. Maintenance and operational problems of the system are considered by many engineers to be the weak link in the chain of power generation equipment (6). The reliability of the...

Sun, wind, and elements to make windows power-generation sources rather than energy losers will occur in the future. Designers, planners, and window industry visionaries foresee windows as dynamic, integrated, controllable appliances in the walls. Windows of the future may very well be automated home systems that serve many purposes. The technologies listed below are only a few in a list of hundreds that may improve efficiency, performance, and visibility. 

The turbogenerator speed must be maintained within narrow limits if it is to generate power acceptably and the control system must be capable of preventing over-speed upon sudden loss of load. For this latter requirement, fastacting valves are necessary with full modulation within 0.5 s. The security of the turbine is also dependent upon the lubrication of its bearings, and it will be found that the control systems are closely linked with the various lubricating systems (turbine, gearbox and alternator). 

One of the outstanding features of fluid power systems is that force, generated by the power supply, controlled and directed by suitable valving, and transported by lines, can be converted with ease to almost any kind of mechanical motion. Either linear or rotary motion can be obtained by using a suitable actuating device.
