Industrial Process Visualized Simulation for Distributed Control System Teaching and Training

Abstract A power plant Distributed Control System training project is described which forms part of a course on plant control systems. Based on course requirement, the fundamental experiments and special projects are provided for the students. The industrial process visualized simulation and optimization described here teaches the students the concept of reconstructing and modifying a system structure and parameter through a commercial software environment. A MATLAB simulink package based example for plant operator and engineer training is explained.
