Abstract

This paper presents an open loop dispatcher training simulator for boiler-turbine implemented in LabView for COLTERM heating power plant of Timisoara, Romania. The system employs real-time capability, graphical user interface (GUI), uninterrupted operator interaction, having as background a low order boiler-turbine model for dynamic simulation. The operator manually controls the fuel charge on each of the three boilers, the turbine valve position and the steam to consumers, to anticipate parameter evolution on each boiler and the electric power generated by turbine.
