It is not meant as a complete simulator training system, but just as a proof of concept of what is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Minimum System requirements macOS
