Architecture of Intelligent Operation Center for Thermal Power Unit

Starting from the practical application requirements, this paper proposes the architecture of the intelligent operation center (IOC) for thermal power unit, involving hardware, network, and functions. In terms of hardware and network, based on the distributed control system, this paper further expands the intelligent controller, high-performance server, intelligent interface, decision-level network, etc., so as to meet the requirements of IOC for intelligent control, complex computing, massive data access, big data analysis, artificial intelligence learning, data visualization, high-speed interaction. In terms of functions, based on the goals, connection relationships and information flow processes of different applications, this paper divides the functions of the IOC into intelligent control, autonomous decision-making, and intelligent interaction, which are of great significance to the construction of smart power plants and the development of smart energy systems.
