Power production control system and method

摘要

A control system for an energy production facility (100) includes a plant controller (114) for receiving an indication of a measured power output of the energy production facility that includes power generators (106) and produces output signals. The system also includes a processing unit operably coupled to the plant controller and responsive to executable computer instructions when executed on the processing unit cause the plant controller (114) to: create an output signal that causes an energy storage device (116) to discharge in the event power reserves of the power generators can not met the requested ramp down rate; and create an output signal that causes the energy storage device (116) to charge up in the event that the power capability of the power generators (106) can meet the requested ramp down rate.
