High-fidelity control system simulators
Improve workforce training experience while proactively managing operational risk and improving performance.
About
What are control system simulators?
Control system simulators provide a safe, accurate, and reliable training environment for operators, technicians, and engineers to develop the critical skills for operating, troubleshooting, and maintaining your valuable plant assets.
With a high-fidelity simulation, users are given the opportunity to either review critical changes before installation occurs in the plant—or for high-impact, low-risk training of new operators. This is a vital step in minimizing risk to an operational facility.

Realistic scenarios for existing and newly installed machinery
Using an accurate, easy-to-maintain simulation of your plant equipment and control system makes operations and maintenance processes more cost effective.
GE Vernova’s extensive experience with gas turbines, steam turbines, and combined-cycle gas turbine plants—coupled with state-of-the-art modeling software and virtual controller software—creates the foundation to build the best simulator for your operation.
Benefits
A control system simulator offers several benefits
Safe operation
- With a control system simulator, operators are given a safe training environment to practice plant operation.
- Safer and cheaper than actual equipment, the simulator lets operators safely practice standard operating procedures as well as uncommon, emergency scenarios.
Risk reduction
- The control system simulator offers a test environment to review changes before deploying them in plant production.
- It reduces costly, time-consuming trips and start-up failures due to operations error.
Operator performance
- Based on the same control platform as the actual plant's control system, the control simulator is easy to use and intuitive for operators to practice on.
- Operations teams learn how to run the plant in both normal and failure-type situations.
- As a result, it improves operator performance, reduces downtime, improves control system quality, and helps operators retain and transfer knowledge.
