Abstract: Intelligent power plant is the future development direction of power generation enterprises,is the advanced stage of power generation enterprise information application, it is interdisciplinary mutual penetration, mutual support, to achieve the integration of information technology and industrialization of the only way. From the perspective of practical engineering point of view, the contents of intelligent power plant planning and construction of four levels were introduced. By purposeful, planned, phased and far-sighted implementation to realize intelligent power plants, thereby enhancing the efficiency of power generation companies and reducing costs.
