Title: Multi-timescale and control-perceptive scheduling of power plant-carbon capture system
Abstract: 

 A carbon-capture system is required for coal-fired power plants to meet environmental regulation and provide support for grid penetration of renewable energy sources, when the integrated power plant-carbon capture system must operate in a highly flexible manner to accommodate the need for intermittent renewable power. To this end, this talk introduces the state-of-the-art studies of scheduling and control for the operation of integrated power plant-carbon capture system to fully exploit the decarbonization and flexibility of carbon capture technology in multiple timescales.
