Read expert articles from SimGenics, covering simulation training, XR education, and industrial operations to help you stay ahead in power, mining, and process industries.
The short answer to this question is safely, thoroughly and as quickly as possible. However, it can also help to ensure the process is not too labour-intensive. Safety in the generating industry is a historic and ongoing concern. A leading survey company estimates that fatalities in coal-fired plants amount to around 100 000 per thousand […]

While solar panels and wind farms are sustainable technologies, they still produce insufficient electricity to meet a nation’s entire needs. Even hydroelectric schemes frequently require additional support. Meanwhile, we continue relying on nuclear fission and fossil fuels for the vast amounts of electricity necessary to keep the country’s industries running. Despite significantly different designs, these

The Principle Benefits of an Operator Training Simulator Operating machinery requires skill and knowledge only learned through instruction and practice. It is generally sufficient to cover the theoretical aspects of a task in a classroom with suitable visual aids and assess the trainees’ progress with oral or written tests. However, theory alone is never enough

Using a Simulator for Power Plant Safety Training The discovery and subsequent harnessing of electricity were among the most significant factors responsible for the rapid evolution of our modern society. The opening of the first generating stations fuelled a second industrial revolution, replacing steam power and opening the door to the many previously unimaginable machines

The events at 3 Mile Island in Pennsylvania, the Ukrainian reactor at Chernobyl and Japan’s Fukushima installation are ample proof of the potential danger of using nuclear fission to generate electricity. However, in October 2021, there were around 440 operational reactors in 30 countries, despite these worrying accidents. Together, they were providing about a tenth

When the Edison Illuminating Company opened its first electric generating station in 1882, its primary purpose was to power the light bulbs purchased by the inventor’s customers and provide limited street lighting. Today, there is hardly a home or business in South Africa’s cities that is not filled with electrical appliances and doesn’t depend upon

The way we do things is constantly changing. Laws change, safety practices are modernised, and protocols are updated to adapt companies and workplaces to the needs of the 21st-century employee. One of the ways in which the workplace is changing is through the use of simulation software. While the use of computer programs to dispense

There are many ways to train operators. There are also many different ways for them to learn and retain the information you dispense to them in training. The key is to strike a balance between the learning outcomes mandated by the company and the learning needs of the employee. It might be affordable and easy

The Importance of Training to Promote Power Plant Safety Historically, the commercial production of electricity has always been a hazardous occupation and the origin of some of the most serious workplace accidents. Merely working with high voltages can be dangerous enough, but the technology used to produce them pose many additional hazards for an unwary
