NETL Advances Clean Coal Power Technology Using Virtual Reality Training System
Presented to Power Plant Sim 2011
Presented by Howard Jemison02/08/11
IntroductionIntegrated Gasification and Combined Cycle (IGCC) power generation viewed as next generation of clean coal energyHigh fidelity Operator Training Simulator (OTS) with virtual reality (VR) environment provides demonstration, education and training to promote IGCC technologyOTS with VR will showcase IGCC as a technically feasible and clean means of meeting future energy demandsEngineering quality models and controls will provide test bed for process and control improvementsVR system provides realistic and intuitive demonstration and training environment

VR Environment and Features
...completing by photo scanning
Slide 13
• More realistic training environment
• Team training
• Safe environment to practice – no consequences
• Improve reaction time and probability of correct response in stressful situations
• Improve skills for rarely-performed, but safety-critical tasks (e.g., emergency shutdown)
• Leverage skills of senior people and capture knowledge
• Evaluate operational and maintenance procedures
• Animations for clear understanding of process internals
Expected Benefits from VR Training
Slide 14
• Normal plant evolutions• Full plant startup• Feed changes• Normal and emergency shutdowns• Hundreds of equipment, instrument and environmental malfunctions• Team training for all control room and field operators
• Communication• Planning and coordination
• Full simulation functionality• Freeze, run, fast, slow• Save, restore, backtracks• Scenarios, trainee performance
