Systems and methods for simulating plant operations

摘要

Embodiments of methods and systems of a system (100) for simulating a plant (104) are provided. According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a system (100) for simulating a plant (104). The system (100) may include a controller (102) including computer-executable instructions of plant operation logic for executing control commands to the plant (104). The system (100) may further include a simulator (106) in communication with the controller (102), where the simulator (106) may consist of a high bandwidth hardware (120) having at least one high bandwidth model (124) of at least a first plant behavior. The simulator (106) may also consist of at least one processor (122) with at least one low bandwidth model (128) of at least a second plant behavior.
