SIMULATOR
A SIMULATOR IS A DEVICE WHICH CREATES A REALIS- TIC PRESENTATION OF ANY PROCESS IN A INTERACTING MANNER.

TYPICAL TRAINING ACTIVITIES

NORMAL, TRANSIENT AND EMERGENCY PLANT OPERATIONS STARTUP, SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES CONTROL SYSTEMS OPERATIONS

START UP & SHUTDOWN FAULT DIAGNOSIS & TROUBLESHOOTING

FEATURES OF SIMULATOR
ALL THE ENGG SYSTEMS OF POWER PLANT ARE IN THE FORM OF MATH MODELS MATHEMATICAL MODELS ARE PROGRAMMED IN A HIGH SPEED DIGITAL COMPUTER.

THE COMPUTER PROCESSES THE MODELS AT A VERY FAST RATE.

ALL CHANGES IN THE VARIOUS PROCESSESS OF POWER PLANT BOILER TURBINE GENERATOR DISPLAYED IN THE CONTROL ROOM PANEL INDICATORS PROCESS CHANGES EITHER FROM WITHIN OR IMPOSED FROM OUTSIDE ARE RESPONDED TO DYNAMICALLY BY THE SIMULATOR.

SIMULATION & MODELLING

SIMULATION IS THE PROCESS IN WHICH
A) A MODEL OF REAL SYSTEM IS DESIGNED

B) EXPERIMENTS ARE CONDUCTED

WITH THIS MODEL TO :
I) UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE SYSTEM II) EVALUATE THE VARIOUS STRATEGIES FOR OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM

PROCESS OF SIMULATION
PHYSICAL PROCESS MATHEMATICAL MODELS

INTEGRATED MATH MODELS TREATED AS PROGRAMS AND RUN ( ITERATED ) AT FAST RATE BY DIGITAL COMPUTER TO CREATE DESIRED EFFECTS ON UCB

BENEFITS OF SIMULATOR (TO VARIOUS DEPTS)

OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL CAN DEVELOP OPERATING PROCEDURES AND EXAMINE CAUSES OF FREQUENT PROBLEMS

CONTROL ENGINEERS CAN DEVELOP CONTROL SYSTEM LOGIC CHANGES AND TEST THE RESULTS AGAINST THE SIMULATOR. TUNING CONTROLS CAN BE PRACTISED AND UPGRADES CAN BE INSTALLED WITHOUT AFFECTING THE PLANT

 ENGINEERING STAFF CAN INVESTIGATE THE STABILITY EFFECTS OF PROCESS AND OPERATIONAL CHANGES SUCH AS ADDING A BYPASS OR CHANGING THE STARTUP PROCEDURES. MANAGEMENT CAN QUICKLY UNDERSTAND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OR PROBLEMS BY DEMONSTRATING THEM ON SIMULATOR
