AES Eagle Valley CCGT Simulator Delivery & Updates
In late 2022, WSC delivered to AES the Eagle valley 2x2x1 Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) full scope simulator. Using our 3KEYMASTER real-time simulation environment and modeling tools, WSC developed all plant process models and implemented three different control systems, including
-
- Full emulation of Toshiba TOSMAP Steam Turbine Controls/HMI,
- Provided and Interfaced to GE Mark VIe Gas Turbine virtual controls with Cimplicity HMI, and
- Interfaced to the AES-provided virtual Ovation DCS.
The 3KEYMASTER Advanced Instructor Station was included for simulator controls, such as freeze, snapshot, reset, malfunctions, event triggers, and scenarios.
Since the delivery of the Eagle Valley CCGT Simulator,
- WSC provided a second Stimulated Cimplicity HMI Station, comprised of GE Cimplicity HMI and ControlST licenses and a commercial-grade workstation.
- WSC is updating the simulator Turbine Controls and AVR based on the migration from emukated Toshiba to Virtual Ovation (provided by AES).
