SIMULATOR TRAINING COURSES
SimGenics is now offering OPEN ENROLLMENT simulator training at our Colorado Training Center!
We provide individual trainees 40 hours of simulator training on one of several combined cycle or conventional plant simulators for $6,000 per week. This price includes a comprehensive and challenging mix of classroom fundamentals, and simulator time. The $6,000 fee is inclusive of all training material, tuition, and pre-tests and post-tests.
Trainees will be responsible for their travel and living expenses. However, we are walking distance from the airport terminal, and walking distance to several upper-end hotels and restaurants all of which provide sizable discounts for our students.
As a Manager in a combined cycle or conventional plant you can provide a full week of extremely high-quality operations and fundamental training to an employee that includes classroom and individual simulator training for less than $7,000.00 including expenses!
The following syllabus contains the course of study for our standard 4, 10-hour days (one work week) combined cycle simulator training courses. These courses can be modified as desired/required based on pre-test scores, client input, and chosen simulator configuration. Items in BOLD directly involve simulation exercises.
DAY 01
- Introductions
- Simulator familiarization
- Pre-test will be administered.
- Energy Concepts. Rankine Cycle, Brayton Cycle, and Combined Cycle Operation.
- Circulating Water System Overview and Components.
- Condensate System Overview and Components.
- Simulator will include cold iron plant system line-up and preparations for a start-up.
DAY 02
- Frame – 7Fa or Siemens 501F Fundamentals.
- Temperature Matching and Stress Control on The HRSG and the Steam Turbine.
- Simulator will continue with previous start-up. We will cover saturation rate of change, HRSG and Steam Turbine stress mitigation, and HRSG start-up and shutdown fundamentals. Numerous malfunction items will be covered on the simulator including stress identification, tube leak identification, and substandard conditions.
DAY 03
- HRSG Overview.
- HRSG Construction.
- Attemperators, Bypasses, and HRSG Draining and Venting.
- Duct Burner Operation.
- Tube Leaks and Tube Leak Mitigation.
- Simulator will include finalizing the start-up begun on Day – 1. This includes blending and coming to full load operation with both GT’s, and both HRSG’s.
DAY 04
- Steam Turbine Overview.
- Steam Turbine Construction.
- Steam Turbine Operation, Temperature Matching, and Stress Mitigation.
- Basic Electricity and Generator Construction and Operation.
- VARS and VAR Control.
- Post-test will be administered.
- Simulator will include multiple turbine exercises in rolling, stress mitigation, and troubleshooting.
The coal/gas fired simulator syllabus contains the course of study for our standard 4, 10-hour days (one work week) conventional plant simulator training courses. These courses can be modified as desired/required based on pre-test scores, client input, and chosen simulator configuration. Items in RED directly involve simulation exercises.
DAY 01
