Introduction

The power industry faces a number of challenges, many of which are driven by the need to minimise emissions, maintain safety, and have flexible plant whilst still operating profitably. Control systems at power plants are a key tool in helping to achieve and maintain this balance.

The second IET Seminar on Power Generation Control is aimed at control engineers and specialists, consultants and OEM suppliers involved in the power generation. business.

The aim of this event is to foster a forum which brings together engineers and academia with a view to sharing knowledge and highlighting challenges and issues, in the hope of leading to the development of innovative and pragmatic solutions for implementation.

This second seminar, in building on feedback from the inaugural event, has intentionally broadened its scope to cover areas which are relevant to, or impact on, power generation control. Particular areas of focus at the 2007 event include the possible impact of new plants on the grid system, the need for design guidelines and the benefits of new technology.

Delegates will have the opportunity to:

• Network with others within the power generation control engineering discipline
• Gain an understanding of a broad range of issues and technology drivers specific to the power industry
• Input into the future development of this event

Target delegates

This event will be of particular interest to Power Plant Production & Engineering Managers, Control & Power Engineers, academics, and system vendors in the Power Generation sector.
