Computer simulation technology is a new multi-disciplinary area. Simulation technology for modern power plant involves many advanced topics, such as computer science, thermal energy and power generation, electrical machinery and systems, and automatic control. The simulation system for the power generation unit in a power plant can be utilized in personnel and operation training, as well as in engineering design, testing, and analysis.This paper is to compile and systematically present knowledge and research. Subjects such as the simulation target for the modern fossil-fuel power plant in addition to the functionality and evaluation of the simulators are briefly introduced. |
