Abstract:

Operation of power plant has become an important task for safe, reliable and efficient perormance of both power plant and power systems. Newly employed operators suffer from lack of experience for proper responce in emergency cases. Theoratical background and academic courses are not enough to train such operators. Power station simulators are expensive and are not usually available for specific power plant under consideration. Building an expert system which simulates the usual problems occuring during power plant operation and remedies of such problems seems to be a proper solution of the task of power plant operator training. The knowledge requires for building such system has to be collected from experienced operators and power plant parameters, layout and specifications. An expert system for training of Al-Huaain Thermal Power Station at Al-Zarqa has been built and tested. Such a knowledge based system can serve not only to train the less experienced operators but also to help other operators in some difficult circumstances. Although this knowledge base operates in an off line mode, however is fast enough to respond and interact for normal circumstances. The VP-Expert shell was used for this knowledge based system.
