Simulator Components

TRAX builds simulators using the ProTRAX simulation software. Each plant-specific simulator is configured to exactly match the simulated plant, and the individual components of a model are tailored to the specific plant, resulting in a simulator that truly represents plant operation. A TRAX simulator is comprised of five major components: the Instructor Station, process models, control logic, human-machine interface (HMI), and input/output (I/O).

Training

Operator training simulators promote safety and preparedness by enabling operators to practice in a safe environment. The ongoing training of power plant operators results in a reduced number of operator-triggered trips, more efficient startups, and potentially the prevention of major equipment damage caused by improper or inadequate operator training. TRAX has a variety of strategies to help increase safety, knowledge, and efficiency through different forms of training.
