California Edison, the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power and the California Energy Commission. This report provides a description of the plant and control systems and compares the original control system requirements with the actual operation. It provides a qualitative evaluation of various plant control systems and summarizes an independent evaluation of the plant displays provided by Honeywell on contract to the Electric Power Research Institute. finally the report describes the desired features of a future control system. The control system with its automated features has substantially increased electrical output of the plant by extending the number of hours of operation and increasing reliability over that which could be obtained with a conventional control system.
