dc.description.abstractThe 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.en_ZA
