Optimization of a drum boiler startup using dynamic simulation and a micro-genetic algorithm

In order to develop thermal power plants operational capabilities to face the new operational challenges of electrical power, in this paper we propose an approach to design operational procedures on a drum boiler of a thermal power plant. The proposed approach uses a coupled system of a simulation m...
