Power Engineer - IT Automation


Simple rules to make your simulator worth the investment

No matter how similar to another unit or to the design on paper, a generating unit or process operation ultimately takes on a 'personality' of its own.

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 generation

Using 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 that MORE »

Automating functions at a Peruvian hydropower plant

Automation technology is playing a key part in a new US$25m project to double the capacity of an underground hydropower plant in a remote area of the Peruvian Andes. The result will be reliable electricity supplies for local people and businesses. Sean Ottewell reports MORE »
