There are various approaches to train operators and hand down technologies in power plants such as long-term training plans, sharing the experience and knowledge of highly-experienced engineers as well as work standardization. An operation training simulator is very effective as a tool to directly support operation training. In particular, there are few opportunities to experience start and shutdown operations at plants where base load operations are carried out, and to learn how to deal with problems. Therefore, by introducing an operation training simulator it is possible to continuously accumulate experience that suits the actual plant and to provide high-quality education in a short period of time.
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) has been providing customers with operation training simulators with a high-fidelity, equivalent to that of actual power plants, making use of its expertise as a manufacturer of major machinery for power plants. Utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the simulator has been installed on the cloud (Cloud Simulator) to improve convenience and maintainability while maintaining the simulator's quality.
