ABSTRACT:
The present invention, in one aspect, is a method for identifying an optimum control blade positioning arrangement. The method generally has an initialization phase and a running, or search, phase. In the initialization phase, an initial control blade positioning arrangement is identified. Once the initial control blade positioning arrangement is identified, such arrangement is then optimized, within the defined constraints, in the running phase. More specifically, in the running phase, each control blade position is analyzed to determine whether the control blade position can be changed from the initial position to either satisfy a constraint or optimize cycle energy, or both.
