Abstract :
Presents a fuzzy-logic-based methodology of life extending control (LEC) for robust wide-range operation of fossil power plants including load-following, scheduled shutdown, and hot start-up. The objectives of the LEC are performance enhancement and structural durability of both aging and new fossil power plants
