Dynamic simulators for improved plant performance
Niclas Krantz focuses on some very useful and recently developed simulator applications from power utilities. He examines three different simulator applications, very useful in their applications respectively. They are all developed for power utilities and power houses in process industries like pulp mills with their own power generationUsing virtual reality to design and simulate power plant performance
There has never been more interest in environmentally-friendly power generation technologies such as photovoltaic, wind, hydroelectric and biogas. However, they are complex to design and maintain. As Sean Ottewell discovers, new virtual reality (VR) software from Germany could change all thatOil & Gas
