GSE Systems’ Latest Simulation Platform Selected by a Major Client as Fleet Solution for Nuclear Operator Training Simulators
November 27 2017 - 4:30PM
Business Wire
GSE Systems, Inc. (GSE or the Company) (NYSE American:
GVP), the world leader in real-time high-fidelity simulation
systems and training/consulting solutions to the power and process
industries, today announced that its latest simulation platform,
OpenSim™ 7.0, is being implemented as a fleet solution across all
nuclear plant sites for an existing client operating in the
southern United States.
Standardizing on the new platform will enable the utility to
optimize future simulation engineering work across its fleet of
plants and more easily integrate future digital systems.
GSE’s latest enhancements in OpenSim 7.0 leverage GSE’s common
simulation engine that serves as the backbone of many nuclear power
plant training simulators in use today in the United States and
internationally.
The GSE platform provides out-of-the-box support for:
- Connectivity: OPC1 and third party
Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
- Engineering Simulation: GSE’s
high-definition executive (HDX client/server) simulation engine
supports advanced simulation codes such as Idaho National
Laboratory’s (INL) RELAP5-3D and the Electric Power Research
Institute’s (EPRI) MAAP
- Performance Monitoring: advanced
monitoring and trending package via JDashboard™
The new configuration for OpenSim 7.0’s kernel supports OPC1
data transfer connectivity and HDX client integration. When clients
add a new DCS, the communication protocols are already built into
the OpenSim 7.0 simulation engine - which allows a simple
configuration to get the system up and running.
The addition of HDX client and server routines enables OpenSim
7.0 to connect easily with advanced codes such as GSE’s RELAP5-HD®,
EPRI’s MAAP (via GSE’s PSA-HD™, DesignEP®), Studsvik’s Simulate-3
Real-time code (S3R) and others.
JDashboard is a GSE tool for advanced monitoring and trending.
In addition to monitoring simulator variables, JDashboard can
evaluate user-defined expressions during runtime. The tool also
offers more control over modules to help speed up debugging by
allowing simulation engineers to control module execution in a
variety of ways during run time. Finally, enhanced functionality
enables real-time performance and CPU load balancing, which is
especially important for monitoring and reporting on advanced
engineering codes.
Bahram Meyssami, GSE’s Chief Technology Officer said, “The
OpenSim 7.0 simulation engine is a leap forward for OpenSim
installations, allowing customers to take advantage of GSE’s
technology innovation to easily integrate third party systems and
advanced (industry-accepted) codes. With such integration
capabilities, customers can increase the fidelity of their existing
training simulator and expand their use of our technology to
leverage the nuclear plant simulator asset for engineering
purposes, beyond the traditional training use. GSE continues to
develop and unify several of our key existing technology
innovations across our product portfolio to benefit all of our
installed user base and future customers.”
