Abstract
The simple simulation of a power generating unit has numerous advantages in the fields of
engineering, testing and training. This dissertation investigates the effectiveness of a
simple reduced boiler and turbine model as an engineering tool. The implementation of a
simple model of a physical boiler up, turbine is described, as well as the implementation
of the unit controls.
Results of actual tests performed on a generating unit are compared with the simulated
data from identical tests. These comparisons show good correlation between the
simulation and actual test data, leading to the conclusion that a simplified model is
adequate as an engineering tool.
