A simulator that comes complete with a virtual explosion could help the operators of chemical processing plants - and other industrial facilities - learn to detect attacks by hackers bent on causing ...

Industrial simulation and emulation are powerful but still underemployed techniques for designing, developing, and testing better automation solutions and machines. When used as a central part of a ...

A new virtual control room at the Idaho National Laboratory will help utilities convert old nuclear power plant control rooms running on analogue systems to digital ones. A new virtual control room at ...

How do you expand operations, migrate to a new control platform, and correct some emerging maintenance problems during a relatively short planned shutdown? How do you get the job done despite limited ...

The oil and gas production explosion is driving the renaissance of the chemical and process industries in North America. With low-cost natural gas comes low-cost feedstock for many chemical compounds, ...

Establishing a simulation environment in a facility can have many benefits when it comes to testing, risk management, downtime, and even troubleshooting. But deciding if the investment is worth it ...

Several aspects must be taken into account when dealing with power electronic design. Within a system we can identify different elements such as thermal dissipation, electrical characteristics, ...

This simulator is based on the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR), designed by General Electric. It was developed by CTI Simulation International Corporation in 2008. The advanced BWR ...

To accelerate and simplify the imposing task of diagnosing quantum computers, a Rice University computer scientist and his colleagues have proposed a method to do just this. The development of a ...
