Operator Training Simulators (OTS)

Our engineering team can offer your facility a complete site specific operator training simulator (OTS) which emulates your process plant and DCS control screens.

Dynamically Accurate Simulations

An Operator Training Simulation is designed and built to respond in the same way as the real plant given changing plant conditions and operator input.  

TSC have a reputation for generating dynamically accurate Operator Training Simulation packages that represent your actual plant systems integrated with a representation of the control system and user interface that a control room operator would use on the real plant. 

An OTS can be used for training new or experienced operators, designing, and testing operating procedures, validating control system logic and as an engineering tool for developing and testing new control strategies and “what if?” analysis.

OTS Clients

TSC has provided BP with many of its site-specific control room operator training simulations worldwide, especially for most of its major onshore and offshore production facilities in Azerbaijan. 

We have provided ExxonMobil with all its site-specific control room operator training simulators for its process facilities on its giant Sakhalin project.

Emulation or Stimulation?

An OTS can be built with either an emulated or stimulated control system. TSC can help you decided which is  best for your project when discussing your project requirements.

 

OTS Whitepaper

Control System Emulation

We specialise in the emulation of the control screen graphics.  

This involves creating accurate simulations that replicate the appearance and functionality of the real control room. By accurately mimicking the behaviour of your control screens, this approach enables operators to gain practical experience, improve their skills, and enhance their decision-making abilities, all while minimising the potential for errors and operational disruptions.  

Emulated training scenarios can be easily customised, adapted, and accessed remotely, offering a valuable tool for preparing operators for real-world tasks and challenges.

Linked Simulation

We recreate all the most essential elements of the control system which we then link into dynamic simulation mathematics. 

The result is a trained operator who is not just familiar with the engineering process of the plant, but one who is familiar with the operation of that specific plant DCS. This is a vital element during abnormal conditions to mitigate human factor risks.

FAQ's

How we can help with your OTS requirements

Significantly cheaper whole-life cost than most alternative options. Eliminates the need for physical hardware replicas of control screens, reducing the costs associated with creating and maintaining training set-ups. Single vendor with lower overall licencing costs. Let us provide you with a quote
Operators can be exposed to malfunctions, process disturbances and infrequent operations (start-ups, shutdowns, turndowns). This prepares them in a safe environment before they occur on the live plant.
Since real systems are not taken offline for training, operations continue uninterrupted while operators enhance their skills using emulated control screens, therefore downtime is reduced, and production is increased as a result
Emulated systems can simulate a wide range of scenarios and operational conditions, allowing operators to practice responding to different situations without disrupting real operations.
