Invensys will provide distributed and critical control systems, emergency shutdown systems, advanced process control, plant optimisation and operator training simulator technology to fully optimise the largest coal-fired power plant that is to be completed in 2013, according to a release.

Under the agreement, the scope of the project includes the provision of end-to-end solutions, from boiler management systems to turbine auxiliary controls, with interfaces for seamless systems integration with other technology vendors.
