(OPS311.1) Intermediate Simulator - SPPA-T3000
Designed to raise the level of knowledge of a Control Room Operator in the areas of basic operation of SPPA-T3000™, reading and understanding control logic diagrams, and the basics of troubleshooting techniques available in the Control System as it functions to control a power plant.
Description
The Intermediate Power Plant Control Room Simulator course is designed to raise the level of knowledge of a Control Room Operator in the areas of basic operation of SPPA-T3000™, reading and understanding control logic diagrams, and the basics of troubleshooting techniques available in the Control System as it functions to control a power plant.
A unique feature of this course is flexibility. Our instructors will fill in knowledge gaps of basic SPPA-T3000™ operations, provide intensive logic reading exercises, and finish the course with simple real-world failures in which the operators must react operationally and then troubleshoot through logic. As the week progresses, the course is adapted to each operator’s needs, maximizing overall training value for the week.
