模擬器被用于加強(qiáng)工人績效，使更多勞動(dòng)力得到有效分配，并提高工廠效率. 賓夕法尼亞匹茲堡2007年12月12日消息，艾默生過程管理公司于當(dāng)天宣布其收到了一份來自德州達(dá)拉斯Luminant（TXU公司的子公司）的訂單，為其提供四個(gè)高保真模擬器.模擬器將被裝在新Luminant培訓(xùn)學(xué)院，Luminant培訓(xùn)學(xué)院位于德州Tyler，已于2007年七月正式開放. 當(dāng)用作培訓(xùn)工具時(shí)，模擬器可以指導(dǎo)操作人員整體理解每一個(gè)工廠的獨(dú)特操作特性.通過模擬，操作者就可以了解到他們的操作對工廠運(yùn)行的影響以及整個(gè)工廠的效率.一旦系統(tǒng)更換或是設(shè)備計(jì)劃升級，操作者就能夠在其執(zhí)行之前全面確認(rèn)變化.對復(fù)雜的工廠操作的全面理解比以往更重要. Luminant將利用艾默生的模擬器在四個(gè)發(fā)電廠對操作者進(jìn)行培訓(xùn).一個(gè)車間已經(jīng)投入服務(wù)（Sandow 4號），另三個(gè)（Oak Grove 1和2, 和Sandow Steam Electric Station 5） 目前已在建設(shè)中.在二期建設(shè)時(shí)模擬器將被裝在工廠中. 艾默生高保真模擬器利用精確的方法效仿工廠操作過程.由于此模擬器應(yīng)用邏輯控制，與現(xiàn)實(shí)中每一工廠的配置一模一樣.高保真模擬器還提供真實(shí)的培訓(xùn)和工程分析環(huán)境.由于工程的快速自然性，艾默生與基于GSET（模擬培訓(xùn)的領(lǐng)先提供商）的Baltimore一起協(xié)作，為每一個(gè)工廠安裝高保真模塊.這種方法會(huì)產(chǎn)生很好的結(jié)果，定制化的模擬器解決方案可以輸送到Luminant需要的時(shí)間架構(gòu)內(nèi)部. 艾默生電力水力解決方案部門行業(yè)中心將負(fù)責(zé)模擬器的安裝工程，于2008年3月開始，計(jì)劃每月裝一個(gè).艾默生電力水力解決方案部門的總裁Bob Yeager說：“利用其新培訓(xùn)學(xué)院，Luminant提供了其最前線的操作員培訓(xùn).我們很高興能與有如此前沿想法的組織合作.” 此工程比較特殊的方面是Luminant的四個(gè)發(fā)電站利用的分布式控制系統(tǒng)分別由艾默生和英維思共同提供.艾默生模擬器可以與任何一個(gè)DCS平臺實(shí)現(xiàn)無縫連接，這也是此次為什么選擇艾默生模擬器的關(guān)鍵.模擬器的性能使在Luminant 的操作者通過所有控制系統(tǒng)平臺得到培訓(xùn)，得到更有效的勞動(dòng)力配置. 技術(shù)操作籌備處副總裁Steve Horn說：“此次培訓(xùn)學(xué)院的成立加強(qiáng)了我們對操作人員的培訓(xùn)，盡可能地實(shí)現(xiàn)可靠且有效的操作目標(biāo).此次由艾默生提供的技術(shù)和服務(wù)給我們的印象非常深刻.他們理解我們的操作目標(biāo)能與我們達(dá)成共識，并能為我們提供一個(gè)加強(qiáng)操作員能力和提供工廠效率的解決方案." Yeager說：“一個(gè)使艾默生模擬解決方案遠(yuǎn)離競爭的因素是電力行業(yè)專家十年來的貢獻(xiàn).事實(shí)上，安裝在工廠中的艾默生控制系統(tǒng)可帶來比美國300,000 MW發(fā)電量還多的發(fā)電量.這些統(tǒng)計(jì)證明了我們一直在為我們的第一目標(biāo)努力：幫助我們的用戶控制關(guān)鍵的發(fā)電過程，提供工廠效率和發(fā)電量，實(shí)現(xiàn)長期的O&M節(jié)約.” 關(guān)于艾默生過程管理 作為艾默生集團(tuán)的業(yè)務(wù)之一，艾默生過程管理為工業(yè)生產(chǎn)、加工、分銷提供自動(dòng)化服務(wù)，應(yīng)用在化工、石油天然氣、精煉、紙漿和造紙、能源、食品飲料、醫(yī)藥等領(lǐng)域.艾默生過程管理將先進(jìn)的產(chǎn)品和技術(shù)結(jié)合在為不同工業(yè)而設(shè)計(jì)的工程、咨詢、項(xiàng)目管理和維護(hù)服務(wù)中.艾默生過程管理旗下的品牌有：PlantWeb, Micro Motion, Fisher, Rosemount, Mobrey, Daniel, Bristol, DeltaV, Ovation, 以及 AMS 套件. 關(guān)于艾默生 總部位于圣路易斯市的艾默生是一家全球領(lǐng)先的公司，該公司將技術(shù)與工程相結(jié)合，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)能源、過程管理、工業(yè)自動(dòng)化、環(huán)境優(yōu)化技術(shù)及家電和工具等領(lǐng)域?yàn)榭蛻籼峁﹦?chuàng)新性的解決方案.公司在2006 財(cái)年的銷售額達(dá)201 億美元.更多信息：www.Emerson.com. [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times] Emerson Wins Contract to Provide Four High-Fidelity Simulators for Luminant’s New Operator Training Academy [/font] [font=times][Color=#708090]Simulators to contribute to enhanced operator performance, more efficient workforce deployment and increased plant efficiency PITTSBURGH, PA （December 12, 2007） — Emerson Process Management announced today that it has received a contract from Luminant of Dallas, Texas, formerly TXU Power, for four high-fidelity simulators. The simulators will be used to equip the power generator’s new Luminant Training Academy, which is located in Tyler, Texas, and officially opened in July 2007. When used as a training tool, simulators teach operators to fully understand the unique operating characteristics of each plant. Through simulation, operators develop a thorough understanding of how their actions impact plant operations and overall plant efficiency. In cases where system changes or equipment upgrades are planned, operators are able to fully validate changes before they are implemented. The complete understanding of complex plant operations is now more important than ever。 Luminant will utilize Emerson’s simulators to train operators at four power generating units. One unit （Sandow Unit 4） is already in service, while three （Oak Grove units 1 and 2, and Sandow Steam Electric Station Unit 5） are new units currently under construction. >A second phase that would add simulators for other existing plants is currently under consideration.　 ｛0>Emerson high-fidelity simulators use mathematical models to emulate plant processes. Because they are configured using control logic identical to that of each plant, the high-fidelity simulators offer a realistic training and engineering analysis environment.　Due to the fast-track nature of the project, Emerson is working with Baltimore-based GSE Systems, a leading provider of simulation and training, to build the high-fidelity models for each unit. This “team” approach will result in a best-in-breed, customized simulator solution that is delivered within Luminant’s required timeframe.<｝0｛> ｛0>Emerson’s Power & Water Solutions industry center will engineer and install the simulators, which will be delivered on a schedule of one per month, beginning in March 2008. "With its new training academy, Luminant is proving that it is at the forefront of the power industry in terms of operator training,” said Bob Yeager, president of Emerson’s Power & Water Solutions division. “We’re pleased to be working with such a forward-thinking organization.” A unique aspect of the project is that these four Luminant power generating units utilize distributed control systems supplied by two different vendors – Emerson and Invensys Process Systems. The capability for Emerson simulators to seamlessly work with any DCS platform was a key factor in the selection of Emerson for this project. This capability will enable operators at Luminant to be cross-trained on all control system platforms, for more efficient workforce deployment. ｛0>"The establishment of this Luminant Training Academy underscores our ongoing commitment to operator training with the goal of operating our units as reliably and efficiently as possible,” said Steve Horn, Vice President of Technology and Operational Readiness. “The combination of technology and service offered by Emerson was very impressive.They understood our operational goals and were able to provide a solution that will translate into enhanced operator performance and increased plant efficiency.” "One of the factors that really sets Emerson’s simulation solutions apart from the competition is that they are backed by decades of power industry expertise,” said Yeager. “In fact, Emerson control systems are installed in plants representing more than of the U.S. generating capacity." These statistics demonstrate that we are succeeding at our number-one objective: to help customers control critical power generation processes, increase plant efficiencies and megawatt production, and realize long-term O&M savings,” Yeager concluded.[/color][/font]
