The Matarbari simulator delivery has been ongoing between Virginia, USA and Chittagong, Bangladesh

Matarbari Simulator Delivery

TRAX is delivering the Matarbari simulator for the Matarbari Power Plant -- an ultra-supercritical, coal-fired generating station owned by the Coal Power Generation Company Bangladesh Limited (CPGCBL). The simulator is designed to replicate real-world operating conditions and provide a comprehensive training environment for power plant operators.

TRAX generated a high-fidelity representation of the physical plant, interfaced to a virtual simulation of the Toshiba distributed control system (DCS), created photo-realistic emulations of control system hard panels and other elements, and executed all of these models in a simulation environment.

 
 

Phased Delivery

Delivery of the simulator was undertaken in several phases. Early in the project schedule, the simulator hardware was delivered to the site with a preliminary simulator. This initial hardware and software delivery allowed the client to begin controls training with a simulator like the Matarbari power plant while the full, high-fidelity simulator was developed.

TRAX began development of the Matarbari simulator on a duplicate set of computers maintained at TRAX. The second phase of the delivery provided CPGCBL with a simulation of the Matarbari plant with pre-commissioned Toshiba controls. The final delivery phase upgrades the simulation to the delivered, commissioned controls.

 

Example Toshiba HMI

The importance of having the control vendor and simulator provider work closely together cannot be stressed enough. TRAX has partnered with Toshiba for many years.

Remote Testing Capability

One of the key features of the simulator contributing to the success of the project is the remote testing ability. Remote testing of the simulator allows operators to assess its functionality and performance from any location, ensuring all features are working correctly and providing an opportunity to identify any potential issues or improvements needed.

CPGCBL and Toshiba were able to access the simulator for updates and debugging, while TRAX was able to update and test the Matarbari simulator halfway around the world. The team used Teamviewer and Ultraviewer to collaborate with each other, and this enabled TRAX, Toshiba, and CPGCBL to make good progress during testing to validate the accuracy and reliability of the system, ultimately ensuring that it met the requirements for effective training and operation.

Remote Training 

Remote work additionally provides the opportunity for remote simulator instructor training. For the Matarbari simulator, TRAX provides training on topics including simulator hardware startup and shut down, creating and executing malfunctions, and the development of training scenarios and associated training aids such as trend files.

The comprehensive TRAX Student Training Program (STP) can be delivered remotely, and in this case received high praise from the client. TRAX included a step-by-step guide for various plant evolutions in accordance with the phased delivery.

 

As we move into the conclusion of 2024 and the Matarbari project, the final stage of the simulator delivery is helping onsite operators to practice their skills on a virtual replication of the Matarbari plant. The simulator helps to enhance operator proficiency in a safe environment, improve decision-making abilities for normal and abnormal scenarios, and ensure optimal performance of the power plant.

TRAX is proud to be a part of the Matarbari simulator, which that will play a crucial role in ensuring continued operational safety for years to come! Contact us to learn more: energysolutions@traxintl.com.
