Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling power generation from a power plant which comprises a plurality of power generating units. The method involves setting a maximal allowed power production for each power generating unit in a selection of one or more power generating units of second priority to a non-zero value, where the maximal allowed power production is determined dependent on whether a first power production gap is greater or less than zero and dependent on a comparison of the first power production gap with a second available power production capability of the selection of the one or more power generating units of the second priority.
