An Implementation of I/O Interface System for Power Plant Simulator

발전소 시뮬레이터 I/O 인터페이스 시스템 구축에 관한 연구

For providing good quality power steadily, it is required that operators manipulate the control system of power plant with the good knowledge of power plant system and the control strategies, and cope with accidents effectively. With those requirements, it is general to train operators in power plant control room using full-scope simulator. A full scope simulator adopts the I&C instruments in the main cotrol room, so has to include I/O interface system to interface the simulation computer with I&C instruments in main control room. In already developed simulators, most of I/O interface systems are closed. vendor-dependent. proprietary systems. so have the many disadvantages in terms of cost and maintenance. In this paper. we suggest the method to configure I/O interface system for Thermal Power Plant Simulator based on standard technology which gives the advantages of ease-of-use. cost effectiveness, and simplicity of maintenanceuse by using off-the-shelf products for system integration.
