Abstract: In one embodiment, a power generation planning support apparatus includes an acquiring module configured to acquire a physical quantity that represents a startup condition of a turbine. The apparatus further includes a first storage module configured to store first information that represents a relationship between a startup schedule of the turbine and the physical quantity. The apparatus further includes a predicting module configured to predict the startup schedule of the turbine, based on the physical quantity acquired by the acquiring module and the first information stored in the first storage module. The apparatus further includes an outputting module configured to output the startup schedule predicted by the predicting module.

Abstract: A monitoring and control system includes a monitoring and control apparatus that transmits an instruction signal for instructing to control a target device to transmission destinations on a first and a second network by a transmission method that designates a plurality of transmission destinations and does not require responses from the transmission destinations, a controller that controls the target device according to the instruction signal and transmits process data indicating a process of the control to transmission destinations on the first and second networks by the transmission method, a transmitter that transmits the instruction signal and the process data to transmission destinations on the second network, a receiver that receives and transfers the instruction signal and the process data addressed to the transmission destinations on the second network and transmitted from the transmitter, and a monitor that receives the instruction signal and the process data.

Abstract: A power generation complex plant has a control switch, an overall control unit and a steam bypass facility. The overall control unit determines that a desired steam volume has reached a limit value of the volume of steam to be generated by a steam generating facility. A steam bypass facility control unit adds a bias value B1 to a control command value V4 of the steam bypass facility to generate a new control command value V5 when the desired steam volume is determined to have reached the limit value. The steam bypass facility control unit then controls the volume and pressure of steam passing through the steam bypass facility on the basis of the new control command value V5 so that no switch of control may be made in the control switch.

Abstract: A plant monitor-control apparatus includes a control device which controls a to-be-controlled device of a plant, an operation/monitor device which delivers an operation instruction to the plant, operates the plant via the control device and monitors the plant, and a user skill level management device which manages respective user skill levels and determines an operation authority corresponding to each user skill level.
