Abstract (en)

Being described is a method for controlling an air condenser of an electric power generation plant, comprising a plurality of fans (F IJ ) and a control device (10), for selecting a state (S K , S K ') of the condenser among a plurality of available states (S 1 , ..., S P ), defined by sets of speed values (R 1 , ..., R Q ) of the fans (F IJ ). The method allows the selection of a new state (S K ') in response to a request to modify a selected current state (S K ) and change the speed (R 1 , ..., R Q ) of at least one fan (F IJ ) according to the new selected state (S K '). In order to change the speed (R 1 , ..., R Q ), the fan (F IJ ) is stopped and restarted at a new speed value, after a rest time (T R ) interval.
