Fossil plant simulators have traditionally used lower fidelity mathematical models to
provide an approximate representation of plant performance. The demand for highly
accurate models did not exist in the early market for fossil simulators, since the main
use of the simulator was to train operators on the functionality of distributed control
systems for plant startup activities.
Today‟s GSE simulators test plant automation systems before they are deployed in the
actual plant. Control strategies and equipment set points are validated on the simulator
prior to plant startup to ensure the control systems are working properly and the expected
plant performance is achieved. Performing these tests on a high-fidelity dynamic simulator
saves days or weeks in plant startup, thereby reducing cost and ensuring quicker revenue
generation by the utility.
After startup these realistic simulators train operators to
run the plant efficiently and ensure the operators are
ready to handle any potential upset.

process, control strategy, or operating procedures can be evaluated in real-time before
they are applied to the actual process units.
GSE simulators enable the student to thoroughly understand the plant, from
fundamental knowledge through advanced troubleshooting. Operators can practice
system startup with the confidence that the simulator behaves exactly like the plant.

GSE maximizes its customers‟ investment in simulation by providing the training
infrastructure and content for fundamentals training and simulations. GSE has
developed an integrated approach to training, Operator Jump Start Training
Program, which has redefined how learning takes place by using a combination of
simulation and visualization to improve comprehension. Our simulation visualization
technology will enable the student to literally “see” a process, capability, or way of operating
in order to learn quickly and more clearly.
The Operator Jump Start Training Program is a rigorous screening program which includes
instruction on:
Operator Fundamentals (mathematics, physics materials, electrical, mechanical, I&C,
fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, chemistry, print reading, conduct of operations, safety)
Systems Training (system purpose, major components, flow paths, instrumentation,
interrelations, control logic)
Experiential Training (startup, shutdown, routine operations, facility upsets,
emergencies)
The goal of the program is two-fold:
1. Provide essential knowledge and skills to potential operators
2. Determine if candidates have the ability to successfully
complete the utility‟s Control Room Operator Training Program
With the Operator Jump Start Training Program, operator
candidates can be screened for their ability to complete the
utility‟s licensed operator program before they enter it. With the
national average throughput at 60%, this screening ability, can SAVE MILLIONS in training
expenses and guarantee that the necessary number of new operators needed to cover
attrition or to staff new builds will be trained and ready when needed.
In education and training there is an expectancy to produce an educated student who has
real operational experience. Simulation applications provide observable and “hands on”
real-time experiences.

Technology is important, but the reasons customers give for selecting GSE are: We get the job done Teamwork and cooperative attitude Experience to solve the inevitable challenges Access to key resources Commitment to the market Depth of resources, no single point of failure In other words, you know what to expect. GSE will be there when we‟re needed so there‟s less project risk. The consistency and longevity of our relationships with customers proves our commitment to the industry. Other simulators are designed only for operator training. GSE customers purchase our simulators for use during design, commissioning, and operational phases for training operators, technicians, engineers, and managers. This provides benefits over the entire life cycle of a facility.
A GSE simulator will contribute directly to improved:
Safety Minimize and eliminate human operational error through training of operators and engineers on the safe operation of the plant under all plant operations, including worst case scenarios.
Performance Establish most cost effective operating procedures and control strategies for the integrated plant by analyzing responses of components and sub systems before and after the plant is commissioned.
Profitability Increase profitability through faster commissioning, reduced downtime, fewer plant upsets, maximized output, and increased operational safety.
Through GSE dynamic simulation: The plant owner can see how the new plant operates before it is built. Engineers can evaluate and improve control strategy prior to plant startup. New plant operating procedures can be developed, validated and refined. Any component or group of components can be failed to fine-tune plant operations
on an unlimited, dynamic „what if‟ basis. This cannot be done with steady state simulators.
The plant can be tested in an integrated fashion. This helps identify unintended consequences that may not be readily apparent by only testing individual systems using other types of simulation techniques.

History of On-Time Performance
Properly trained and licensed operators can be the critical path to a new plant startup.
GSE‟s experienced simulation program managers, engineers, and test operators know how
to assess and mitigate project risk to ensure on-time performance.
Highest Fidelity Software Tools
Providing the most realistic representation of your complex plant functions is critical to both
operator training and instructor confidence. When new plants are being designed, there is
not historical plant data to validate the simulation models. Therefore simulation models
must accurately predict plant behavior. GSE‟s models do this better than any others.
Open Partnership Approach
Building simulators, designing training solutions, or managing complex engineering tasks
all require close cooperation with you the customer and flexibility in finding ways to meet
the project objectives. GSE prides itself that customer satisfaction ratings are highest in the
categories of:
Teamwork and Cooperation
Problem Resolution
Effective Communications
