Generic Power Plant Models
We provide generic power plant simulation models as a starting point for customer own modelling projects. The access to ready-made large-scope model greatly speeds up own model development and getting familiar with Apros simulation software features. The generic simulation models also provide good information and examples about various power plants systems (e.g. turbine island, heat exchangers, operational I&C systems etc.) and how they can be modelled in Apros. This significantly speeds up the model development and also provides good learning tool for new power plant engineers and energy specialist of the power plant dynamics.
We have following generic power plant models available for sale
- Generic Pressurized Water Reactor
- Generic Small Modular Reactor
- Generic VVER-440
- Generic Gas Turbine
Use cases and applications of the generic simulation models
- Personnel and student training (power plant dynamics, modelling, simulation and analysis)
