Dynamic Simulation of Power Plant

[NTedford]

Hello,

I'm looking at assembling a dynamic simulation of a power station (combustion chamber, boiler, steam turbine generator, and/or combustion turbine generator) to model the effects of various load rejections from the turbine on the boiler, furnace, and bypass systems. At the moment I'm pulling together references on dynamic simulation models. I have a number of papers, but am interested in what others may recommend. Also, I have a copy of "Modelling and Simulation of Power Generation Plants" by Ordys et. al. which has models of each of the components, but I have heard it may not be one of the better references to use. Any guidance or pointers would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Nathan

Try the IDEAS process modelling software. I built a chiller plant with it and it rocked.

More generally people might use matlab/simulink
