Abstract:
1. A method comprising: controlling a boiler system through manipulation of variables by a steam generation control module, the variables including at least one of burner tilt, flue gas recirculation, platen superheater temperature, outlet superheater temperature, reheat superheater temperature, boiler fouling, boiler output status, and turbine output status; and independently controlling a desuperheater system with cooling water proportional-valve control by a desuperheater control module, wherein independently controlling the desuperheater system includes the desuperheater control module sending a control statement to the steam generation control module of the boiler system to adjust at least one of the variables therein to retain desuperheater cooling water proportional-valve control in the desuperheater system.
