Key issues:

• Full scope high fidelity training simulator for operator training purposes.
• Integration with an emulation of the GE and Emerson plant control systems.
• Real time Simulation.

Methodology:

• Develop Full Scope Simulator.
• Simulator use for Operator Training and Engineering analysis.
• Entire plant, control system and user interface simulated.
• Use Familiar General Electric SCADA.

Solution:

• Entire plant, control system and user interface simulated in Flownex in real time on a desktop computer.
• Import Entire General Electric SCADA.

Key issues:

• NOx and SOx regulations necessitated improved combustion.
• Secondary Over Fire Air (SOFA) installed into existing plant.
• Problems experienced with air distribution as well as delayed transient behavior with regards to the measured O2 content of the flue gas at the economizers.

Methodology:

• Simulations with and without SOFA.
• Simulations to investigate possible new ducting and duct routing.
• Simulations with regards to different control philosophies.

Solution:

• Improved flue gas O2 content response due to feed forward signal.
• No significant improvements due to new ducting and duct routing.
• Leave client with a customizable model of system.
