Control parameter optimizing system that optimizes values of control parameters of an existing power plant and operation control optimizing apparatus equipped therewith

A control parameter optimizing system comprising:

• an objective function setting section that sets an objective function to be optimized in controlling operation of an existing power plant;
• a plant model that simulates the operation of the existing power plant and calculates a process amount of the existing power plant and a value of the objective function;
• and
• a control parameter optimizing section that optimizes values of control parameters of the existing power plant using the plant model in such a manner as to optimize the objective function;
• wherein the control parameter optimizing section includes:
• an optimization control parameter selecting section that, based on control logic information extracted from a control logic database of the existing power plant, selects a control parameter from the control parameters as an optimization control parameter that is for use in optimizing the objective function;
• and
• an optimization control parameter adjusting section that adjusts a value of the optimization control parameter using the plant model in such a manner as to optimize the objective function.
