Abstract

In this paper, the bases of the models of the lube oil systems of a full scope simulator of a 450 MW combined cycle power plant are presented. The simulator is executed in real time and was designed as an aid for the training of operators. Here, the modeling methodology used to develop the referred models and the mathematical principles used to obtain the main equations are summarized. The qualitative behavior of selected variables during transients and malfunctions are presented and analyzed in order to prove the validity of the simulator.
