Experience and features of innovative training of specialists in the field of automation at the proving ground of power plant APCS

Abstract

Power units and power plants as automation and control objects are characterized by high dimension and redefinition, the presence of the uncertainty factor of most characteristics of a generally non-linear non-stationary system, as well as the action of random, as a rule, uncontrolled disturbances and a significant number of parameters inaccessible for direct measurement. The complexity of the technical system determines the appropriate level of requirements for the training of engineering and operational personnel in the field of modern automation and control systems, and at the same time requires the creation of adequate training tools and methodology by integrating fundamental engineering education and modern achievements in the field of information management technologies. The article summarizes the experience of 20 years of use and development of the educational and research complex «The proving ground of power plants APCS» for training specialists on the problems of modern technology of automation of energy facilities, advanced training of personnel of power plants, energy associations and engineering companies.
