Steam levelling In the industrial power plant, steam levelling means balancing the steam generation with the consumption. Steam pressures in different levels (headers) should be stable, and the operational efficiency of the plant at the maximum level. The well-performing control system is important, because the disturbances and the start-ups lead to large and fast load
