  1. PRESENTATION ON SIMULATORS R.MATHUR

  2. Objectives of Simulators • Operator Training • Engineering Analysis • Optimizing Control Loops

  3. Operator Training Purpose of Training Simulator • Improvement of plant operational skills • Familiarity of plant MMI functions • Understanding of basic plant dynamics • Study of control system functions • Act as a bridge between a hard panel operated system and a new advanced plant DCS –Applicable for Renovated Plants

  4. Operator TrainingType & Level of Training No. Item Function Training Level Fresh Experienced 1 Plant Plant dynamics of Plant dynamics trip/major Control system (Abnormal /Failure failure 2 Plant Function of dynamics Control system during (Start-up/Shut start-up/shut down down) 3 Start-up/Shut Operation procedure of down start-up/shut down operation 4 Emergency Emergency Operation Operation procedure in case of failure 5 Complex Capability for complex Operation and skilled operation

  5. Unit Operator • Unit Start-up • Unit Shut down • Emergency Handling • Performance Monitoring Major Operator Actions

  8. Operator Training Need for Simulator Training • Automatic plants continue to operate without operator intervention for long periods. • There is little opportunity for new operators to practise operation. • Simulator affords possibility to practise all operations without risk of plant damage due to incorrect operator action.

  9. Operator Training Typical Operation features • Modern Power plants are complex • Operation from Operator Workstations using Monitor / Keyboard • Large amount of information available • Operator expected to handle vast number of operating and performance monitoring screens • Operator expected to located faulty equipment which might be preventing an automatic sequence from completion • Operator expected not only to keep generating power but also to do so with the highest fuel efficiency

  10. Operator TrainingAdvantages of Simulator Training • Training on same type of Operator interfaces as in real plant • Same type of operating conditions can be repeatedly created to improve operator reaction to a condition • Any type of emergency condition can be created to train in emergency handling

  11. Operator TrainingKey Features of Simulator • Fairly accurate model of real plant. Model will respond to operator actions exactly as the real plant would • Facility to Freeze /Start simulator at will. This permits instructor to explain intermediate condition of plant • Facility to take Snap Shots of any plant condition for replay to provide opportunity to learn the best response to a plant condition.

  12. Operator TrainingKey Features of Simulator • Facility to run the model in real time / high speed. Permits speeding up of slow plant processes such as boiler pressure build up. This can be very useful in avoiding tiresome waiting to observe process response to operator actions. • Malfunctions of plant equipment can be created to simulate actual plant equipment. For example, Turbine steam inlet valve can be blocked from closing on a turbine trip. Process behaviour and operator response to handle the situation can be repeatedly taught. • Historical record of Operator actions can be kept for analysis and evaluation of Operator Performance.

  13. Simulator Training is Effective Demonstrated Benefits of $1000/Mw/Yr EPRI Study….

  14. Basic Contents of a Simulator • Process Model • Can be accurate to within 1-2% of real plant for critical parameters • Can simulate process behaviour even in transient condition to within 10-20 % of real plant • Control Model • All real plant closed and open loop controls can be accurately emulated / copied • Operator Interface • DCS based screens or hard-panels can be simulated
