As regards 500MW simulator is concerned, the computer and hard panel with instructor station were supplied by M/s Siemens AG .They are no more in the simulator business.I/O interface system were supplied by M/s Tata Power. They are not in a position to give timely supply of I/O cards and reliability is not foolproof. Procurement and proper functioning of these cards have been taking even 2 years.The prices of I/O cards are very high, on the ground that most of the components used are now obsolete & have to be procured at a higher cost. We are facing same problem in 200MW simulator.

Letter ref 01/PMI/Sim.upg/2004-Minutes of meeting ,where D(HR) was present-It was felt that simulator
200MW & 500MW are panel based and new technology (CRT based) simulators have come up in the market,we would immediately go to renovate both the simulator.
M/s RTEDELTEC Corp. ,supplier of UPS system on Korba visits-Your unit have been out of production over
20 years and there are no spares/parts available for them. My suggestion for you to replace your unit with a current model.

New NTPC projects & other power utilities are operated from LVS/OWS system and older stations either from a totally hardwired UCB or a mix of both. Thus operators tuned with both types of experience are required over at least ten years from now.Hence, R&M of the simulator by porting of existing software into new hardware platform and augmenting it by adding LVS/OWS based platform is the most feasible solution to the problem. In view of foregoing, it is suggested that R&M both the simulator may please be taken up at the earliest

R&M ACTIVITIES
The proposed R&M activities includes : Replacement of existing ENCORE/GOULD simulation and DAS computers by latest servers. Replacement of I/O interface system with latest DCS/PLC based system. Replacement of obsolete panel hardware as on required basis. Incorporating the LVS/OWS based operator HMI. Establishing network connectivity to PMI, so that training may be provided at PMI.

R&M PROCEDURES
As has been done in our DAS R&M cases,the whole R&M activity is proposed to be done in several phases/steps in order to minimize the down time. Most of the software work can be done on the new hardware platform and connectivity to the panel can be done with minimum down time of say 15 days or less. During that time training will be continued with existing configuration.

TANGIBLE BENEFITS
After R&M we will have 4 panel, that will accommodate more no. of trainees. Simulator training cost (for 2 weeks) with LVS/OWS system is Rs.50,000/- as compared to Rs.30,000/- with conventional system. As on previous available data no. of trainees for 2 weeks program = 1100 (aprox.).,assuming that half of these trainees are for LVS/OWS based system. Approx. cost of simulator training =Rs.4,40,00000/-

INTENGIBLE BENEFITS :
The simulator training gives a feeling of operating a real power plant with no fuel cost, no wastage of time,no losses and repairs. It rises the level of proficiency and confidence. Training in emergency handling helps in saving down time of plant. Training in efficient operation helps the operator in improvement of overall efficiency and life expectancy of plant equipment.
