Simulation of Coal Fired power generation unit.
This simulation represents a rather basic model of a 150MW (gross) single unit superheated Rankine cycle power plant with a pulverised fuel coal fired boiler. It is not meant as a complete simulator training system, but just as a proof of concept of what is possible.
The aim is to perform a cold start of the boiler and turbine and once synchronised to the electrical grid increase load to the unit maximum of approx. 150 MW. Once this load is reached a score will be given on your performance, taking into account the fuel usage, auxiliary power consumption and any environmental limits that have been exceeded. To achieve a perfect score of 100% may require a few attempts.
Minimum System requirements macOS are;
- Intel or ARM processor
- macOS 10.14 (Mojave)
- 14-inch (3024 x 1964) screen
- Current release version is CoalSIM v2.3.1
