Process and Control Practice Training Simulation Software and Application

The process and control practice training simulation software means that fully process plant including control systems simulation software can be run on one personal computer independently. By using the object-oriented and real-time technology,process dynamic mathematical model,control system model,instructor functions,man-machine interface and graphics can be integrated into one simulation software environment and run on one personal computer efficiently. Simulator can provide numerical solution in real-time and reasonable accuracy. The simulation software was designed for use in the practice training of students; realistically represent unit or plant startup,shutdown,normal operations and emergency conditions. This capability provides a risk free environment for students to practice a wider range of operation conditions than would be possible in an actual process plant. It enables the students to gain years of experience and learn the plant process in only few weeks. The features and applications of simulation software,the methods to enhance practice training were described.
