英維斯為美國能源部安裝模擬軟件
August 22, 2011 - Invensys Operations Management announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has deployed an operator training simulator for an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant with carbon capture using innovative simulation software-based training solutions from Invensys.
8月22日消息——英維斯營運管理宣布，美國能源部利用英維斯基于軟件的創新模擬培訓解決方案，為一個帶碳捕獲的整體煤氣化聯合循環（IGCC）發電廠部署了一個操作員培訓模擬器。
Implemented at the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) Advanced Virtual Energy Simulation Training and Research (AVESTAR) Center in Morgantown, W.Va., Invensys Operations Management’s SimSci-Esscor DYNSIM high-fidelity simulator will help train operators for new IGCC plants now being built in the United States. An AVESTAR facility identical to the one at NETL is also in place at the West Virginia University National Research Center for Coal and Energy. It also uses a DYNSIM high-fidelity simulator and will be used to assist NETL with research and education.
英維斯運營管理的這個SimSci-Esscor DYNSIM高仿真模擬器部署在位于西弗吉尼亞州的美國國家能源技術實驗室（NETL）的先進虛擬能源模擬訓練和研究（AVESTAR）中心，將幫助正在建設中的IGCC新電廠培訓操作員。與在NETL相同的另一個AVESTAR設備也部署到了西弗吉尼亞大學國家煤炭和能源研究中心。它同樣使用了DYNSIM高仿真模擬器，將被用于協助NETL的研究和教學。
“IGCC with carbon capture holds tremendous promise as a low-cost, clean energy source so IGCC plants are expected to be a key resource for the provision of clean fossil power in the near future. Fulfilling that promise, however, requires an adequate supply of well-trained operators,” said Tobias Scheele, vice president, operations management applications, Invensys Operations Management. “The DOE is using our DYNSIM simulator, just as airlines use flight simulators to train pilots before they take to the air, to help future IGCC plant operators achieve operational and environmental excellence.”
英維斯運營管理運營管理應用副總裁Tobias Scheele表示：“帶碳捕獲的IGCC作為一種低成本的清潔能源具有很大的前景，所以IGCC電廠預計在不久的將來成為清潔化石能源供應的主要來源。但是，要實現這個前景，需要足夠多訓練有素的操作人員。能源部利用我們的DYNSIM模擬器，就如航空公司利用飛行模擬器在飛行員飛行之前培訓他們一樣，幫助未來的IGCC電廠操作員實現運營和環境的卓越性。”
The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that, based on current usage rates, the United States has enough coal to last more than 200 years, but if plants continue to use conventional fossil fuel technologies, they will emit unacceptable levels of CO2 and other pollutants. IGCC with carbon capture offers an environmentally friendly alternative by capturing 90 percent of the CO2 produced by traditional fossil-fuel burning processes while at the same time reducing sulfur, mercury and other NOx emissions.
美國能源情報署估計，根據目前的使用率，美國的煤炭還足夠使用200多年，但是如果電廠繼續使用傳統的化石燃料技術，它們將使二氧化碳和其他污染物的排放達到不可接受的水平。帶碳捕獲的IGCC通過捕獲由傳統的化石燃料燃燒過程中產生的二氧化碳的90％，同時減少硫、汞和其他氮氧化物排放量，提供了一個環保的替代方法。
However, IGCC is also a complex process requiring highly trained operators. Many plants are now in various stages of design or construction in the United States and there is a pressing need for a well-trained work force. The DOE is therefore providing high-fidelity simulated environments that will enable trainees to learn to interact with controls that are almost indistinguishable from those they would encounter in a real plant.
然而，IGCC也是一個復雜的過程，需要訓練有素的操作人員。現在許多美國工廠處在設計或施工的各個階段，迫切需要一支訓練有素的勞動大軍。因此，能源部提供高仿真的模擬環境，將讓學員學習與他們在真正的工廠所遇到的幾乎沒有區別的控制操作。
“IGCC is highly complex, mostly because personnel must learn to operate what is effectively both a chemical processing plant and a power plant. To teach them how to do that we must simulate the chemical process of coal-gasification with CO2 capture together with combined-cycle power generation,” said Stephen E. Zitney, Ph.D. and director of NETL's AVESTAR Center. “No one has ever done that before, but now with help from Invensys, we can simulate routine operations, disturbances and malfunctions, as well as routine and emergency shutdowns. We can even simulate operations and train operators on different coal and biomass feed stocks.”
NETL的AVESTAR中心主任Stephen E. Zitney博士表示：“IGCC非常復雜，主要是因為工作人員必須學會在化學處理廠和發電廠里面什么是有效的操作。為了教他們如何做，我們必須模擬帶二氧化碳捕獲以及聯合循環發電的煤氣化過程。此前從來沒有人這樣做過，但現在通過英維思的幫助，我們可以模擬日常運作、干擾和故障，以及日常和緊急停機。我們甚至可以模擬在不同的煤和生物原料之中的運營以及培訓操作人員。”
The next phase of the project, already well underway, extends simulation from the control room to outside plant operators, or field operators, expanding the SimSci-Esscor solution to a 3-D virtual reality experience using Invensys Operations Management’s EYESIM immersive training simulator. Wearing a stereoscopic headset or eyewear, IGCC field operators can coordinate activities with control room operators. Immersed in an EYESIM virtual environment, field operators can move and interact as if they were in the real plant. The environment is fully interactive with the simulation models, so actions taken by a field operator will have an impact on the process and actions performed in the control room will change the information visible to the field operator. As a result, field and control room operators will be trained to coordinate their activities and perform collaboratively as a team.
該項目的下一階段早已展開，模擬操作從控制室延伸到外部工廠操作員或現場操作員，利用英維斯運營管理的EYESIM身臨其境般的訓練模擬器，把SimSci-Esscor解決方案擴展成一個3D虛擬現實體驗。戴上立體耳機或眼鏡，IGCC的現場操作員可以與控制室操作員協調行動。沉浸在一個EYESIM虛擬環境中，現場操作員可以移動和互動，就如同他們在真正的工廠那樣。環境與仿真模型是完全互動的，因此，現場操作員采取的行動將影響到進程，而中控室操作員的行為將改變現場操作員的可見信息。由此產生的效果就是，現場和控制室的操作人員訓練協調他們的行為，以及作為一個團隊進行協作。
