Design of SIMUPRO series training simulators for large scale industrial processes

Abstract

Training simulator can model all phenomena of startup, shutdown, routine operation and malfunction in actual factory without any raw materials and danger. An operator trained by training simulator for several weeks can get more experiences than one working in the field for two to five years. As a scientific training method, training simulator is attracting more and more considerable attentions. SIMUPRO series training simulators for large scale industrial processes developed by Zhejiang University, have been successfully applied in many petrochemical works where distributed control systems (DCS) are used. SIMUPRO series training simulators are remarked well by broad users for their advanced technology, practicability and reliability. The functions, architectures, designs and characters of these training simulators are elucidated in this work.
