| Abstract | The paper a real-time simulator the hightemperature geothermal power plant near Iceland. The simulator is PC computer based and to the actual control hardware and operator interface. The simulator can he used for operator training, testing of control hardware software, analysis of various process design and design and tuning of the control The paper the basic architrcturc the power plant and shows a comparison ,simulation model transients with actual datu in the plant. The paper also describes a Nesjavellir power plant simulator, a district heating system simulator and a building simulator based on Windows programs and standard PC hardware In these simulators the control system is simulated instead using the actual control hardware and operator interface. These simulators are compact and inexpensive, mainly intended for training, design evaluation, control system tuning and analysis. |
