NETL's IGCC Dynamic Simulator Reserach and Training Center

OSTI ID:1014042
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is collaborating with software, industry, and university partners to establish a world-class Dynamic Simulator Research and Training (DSR&T) Center dedicated to the operation and control of advanced energy plants with carbon capture capabilities. The DSR&T Center will offer a collaborative R&D program and comprehensive hands-on training built around a portfolio of non-proprietary, high-fidelity, real-time dynamic simulators. The simulators will provide full-scope operator training system (OTS) capabilities for normal and faulted operations, as well as plant start-up, shutdown, and load following. Immersive three-dimensional (3-D) virtual reality will add another dimension of realism to the dynamic OTS systems and extend the training scope to both control room and outside operators, allowing them to work as a team. The benefits of high-fidelity immersive training systems (ITS) include more realistic training scenarios, improved communication and collaboration among work crews, off-line evaluations of procedures, and training for safety-critical tasks and rare abnormal situations.
