SayVM has experts who have developed Steam Propulsion Plant Simulator (SPPS) to simulate steam cycle used in ships and submarines for training of boiler and turbine operators. The SPPS simulates all important elements of a steam cycles such as boiler with superheated and saturated steam output, turbine with forward and backward movement, condensers, feed tank for water, water, fuel and extraction pumps, blowers for air and all intermediate valves. The SPPS runs in real-time on Linux and allows boiler and turbine operators to control various valves to control steam pressure and turbine speed. The SPPS also implements automatic boiler control involving fuel pump and water pump based on software PID controller to maintain boiler water level for all steam pressures. The SPPS is useful for training of boiler and turbine operators.
Real-time software simulation of superheated and saturated steam cycles
Real-time process mimic comprising boiler, turbine, condensers, tanks, pumps and valves
Automatic boiler level control with fuel and pump control using software PID controller
Interactive control for opening and closing of valves
Implemented using C++ and Qt on Linux
