Case Study
Tucson Electric Power mitigates DCS upgrade risk with high fidelity simulator from AVEVA
Goals Replace original Leeds and Northrup analog control system and ABB Turbotrol turbine control system with Foxboro DCS. Use high-fidelity simulator to do DCS control checkout, DCS HMI validation and plant procedures verification with new controls. New simulator to replicate the actual dynamic response of the operations and without any significant loss of megawatt production. Repurpose simulator for operator training, continuous improvement and knowledge capture.
