INTELLIGENT START-UP SCHEDULE OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM FOR A THERMAL POWER PLANT

This paper proposes an intelligent start-up schedule optimization system for a thermal power plant. This system consists of a dynamic simulation, a neural network, and an interactive multi-objective programming technique. The features of this system are as follows. (1) The start-up schedule can be optimized based on multi-objective evaluation and (2) the optimal start-up schedule can be determined with a reasonable computing time and calculation accuracy through interaction between human beings and computers.
