Simulation and Training/Digital Twin
Overview
The system can accurately simulate the entire production process of thermal power units, including normal operations, abnormal condition handling, and fault configuration. It provides mature solutions and proven track records for units of different capacities and control systems. It is used for training, assessment, and skill evaluation of power plant operators, technical personnel, and management staff, and supports group competitions and technical skill contests. The thermal power simulation solutions have been deployed in nearly 400 projects (including 20 overseas projects).
