110 MW Geothermal Power Plant Multiple Simulator, Using Wireless Technology
A geothermal power plant multiple simulator for
operators training is presented. The simulator is designed to be
installed in a wireless local area network and has a capacity to train
one to six operators simultaneously, each one with an independent
simulation session. The sessions must be supervised only by one
instructor. The main parts of this multiple simulator are: instructor
and operator-s stations. On the instructor station, the instructor
controls the simulation sessions, establishes training exercises and
supervises each power plant operator in individual way. This station
is hosted in a Main Personal Computer (NS) and its main functions
are: to set initial conditions, snapshots, malfunctions or faults,
monitoring trends, and process and soft-panel diagrams. On the other
hand the operators carry out their actions over the power plant
simulated on the operator-s stations; each one is also hosted in a PC.
The main software of instructor and operator-s stations are executed
on the same NS and displayed in PCs through graphical Interactive
Process Diagrams (IDP). The geothermal multiple simulator has been
installed in the Geothermal Simulation Training Center (GSTC) of
the Comisi├│n Federal de Electricidad, (Federal Commission of
Electricity, CFE), Mexico, and is being utilized as a part of the
training courses for geothermal power plant operators.
