| Abstract | This paper presents some of the control challenges associated with the application of a distributed control system intended to provide integrated control of all functions across Mighty River Power’s Kawerau plant in New Zealand. The control system provides seamless integration of all operations throughout the steamfield, power generation and switchyard of the plant. |
