Simulator
Overview
As a leading manufacturer of thermal power plants, Mitsubishi Power has utilized its wealth of experience to develop training simulators for conventional plants, gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) plants and integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants as part of the product lineup for its DIASYS integrated control system, which employs the latest information, communication and control technologies. Mitsubishi Power delivers these training systems to customers all over the world.
Solutions Offered by Training Simulators
Mitsubishi Power is able to offer a variety of solutions through its training simulations, including the solutions outlined below.
Operational Training
- Training on plant operation for operators (start/stop/special operations in each mode)
- Troubleshooting by operators (accident response training)
Maintenance Training
- Mastering how to use the monitoring and operation tools for control logic
- Operational verification and analysis carried out before control logic is updated for control improvement
Control and Model Training
- Control logic training
- Plant model training
Features of Training Simulators from Mitsubishi Power
High-precision Plant Models Created by a Plant Manufacturer with Knowledge of the Equipment Down to the Last Detail
Precise mathematical models based on physics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, and other areas are used to offer high-precision simulation comparable to actual plants.
Various Types of Plant Models
- Gas turbine models
- Steam turbine models
- Boiler/Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG)
- Generators
- Other plant auxiliary equipment
The Same Netmation Software and Database as an Actual Plant
To facilitate effective operational training, the same Netmation software (operator station (OPS), engineering & maintenance station (EMS), and accessory station (ACS)) are used in the simulator as in an actual plant.
The simulator can also use the same logic and graphic database as an actual plant to allow prior verification of updated control logic and training for maintenance of parameter tuning.
Various Types of Simulators to Meet All Kinds of Needs
Full Replica Type Simulator
Panorama Simulator
This simulator is equipped with a large wide screen to display the status of the whole plant.
You can confirm how the system reacts to your operation and changing logic at a glance on a large wide screen as if the system were real.
Compact Type Simulator
Desk Side Type Simulator
This is a compact simulator that lets you perform all kinds of monitoring and operations on CRT monitors.
The same control logic and plant models are used as for the other types of simulators to facilitate full-scale training.
This simulator is easy to introduce because the installation location is flexible and the initial cost is low.
Simulator Functions
Simulators from Mitsubishi Power have various features to support training and verification.
Operator Station (OPS) | Terminal to perform monitoring and operation. |
Accessory Station (ACS) | Terminal to perform data collection and form creation. |
Engineering & Maintenance Station (EMS) | Provides engineering functions for system development and maintenance control. |
Multiple Process Station (MPS) | This control equipment performs plant control operation and site ON/OFF control. |
Instructor Console Function
- Reset
An initial state of a plant can be created and registered beforehand to be set up in a simulator. - Run/Freeze
You can switch the status of simulation between Run (running) and Freeze (pausing). - Snapshot
You can temporarily save the current state of a plant. - Backtrack
The state of a plant can be automatically saved every two minutes and you can switch back to a previous state. - Changing the simulation speed
You can speed up or slow down the simulation speed during simulation. - Malfunction
You can simulate an abnormal plant state to practice troubleshooting.
