Description
Summary:This paper describes "Power Plant Analyser" (PPA), a computer code for power plant dynamic and steady-state performance analysis. "Power Plant Analyser" simulates fossil power plant systems-such as drum-type, once-through, gas turbine and combined cycle plants-in a user-friendly manner. It provides a convenient tool for power engineers to understand the complex and interrelated thermodynamic processes and operating characteristics of the plant. It can also be used for the conceptual training of power plant operators, as well as a test bed for power plant control and operating strategies.
