Power Station Simulators

Download or read book Power Station Simulators written by D. Zanobetti and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1989 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in electronics have made possible the production of a vast variety of tools for the simulation of ever more complex problems related to physics and engineering. Applications to the nuclear field have been consistently enlarged over the years up to the point where simulators have now been developed both for engineering design and for nuclear power plant operator training. The number and the variety of simulators have grown to such an extent that it has become necessary to classify the numerous types now available. Simulators are of paramount importance for the design of nuclear power plants, for optimizing their efficiency and for the training of their operators: factors that contribute to their overall security. This study of power plants was commissioned by the Directorate-General Energy, of the European Communities, and its appearance marks the first comprehensive text of its kind on the entire panoply of nuclear power plant simulators. To complete the picture, the simulation of fossil fuel stations is also included. The volume gives a systematic view of a very complex field and allows the reader to find his way toward a classification.
