Most of thermal power simulators focus on the nuclear disaster simulation, maybe because it is more attractive for learning purpose or maybe nuclear engineers are more interested in simulation than others…On the other hand, lower complexity of solar systems leads to the existence of several solar free power simulators.
POWER PLANT SIMULATION SOFTWARE SIMULATOR
– Developing a power plant simulator is a great effort so it’s obvious that developers don’t do it for free, however some «lite-simulators» can be found. They are very detailed and can be used to define low temperature solar systems requirements starting from solar radiation characteristics and power generation. Both of them are compiled programs, not open source, developed on LabView. Solar-instruments offers two free downloable solar simulators, one photovoltaic and other thermal. With the solar power growth a lot of companies have developed huge amounts of solar simulation software. Solar thermal and photovoltaic simulators It has one only screen with alarms and analogic controls so visually is not very attractive.Ĥ. You can control rods, primary, secondary and cooling flows in order to generate as much as energy you can without causing a meltdown. It is a Flash web application -not open source. This is a more detailed simulator of a PWR Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear Power Plant Simulator Game by Geoffr Noles Maybe is suitable for coal fired specific training. In my opinion it’s visually overwhelming and difficult to use, however is a great effort and worth to try it. It consists of several screens buttons, controls, lights, alarms… a very deep detail for a free simulator.

POWER PLANT SIMULATION SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
It’s a compiled program you can download for free. «Mi central» (spanish for «my power plant») is a coal power plant simulator written in spanish. The objetive is to avoid power plant disaster by controlling valves, water pumps and control rods. You can run several random failure-simulation sequences.

The virtual plant «Kärnobyl» (very funny name indeed) is a BWR, consists of a core, a steam turbine and a condenser. It is rough and simply but visual and funny. This is a nuclear power plant failure lite-simulator. Nuclear Power Plant Applet by Henrik Eriksson (Linköping University, Sweden): This is a list of real programs or apps I have found (if you find more, please write a comment):ġ.

If you google «power plant free simulators» on the internet you will find a lot of spyware web pages and commercial simulators, however  there are some true programs that deserve a try.
