Abstract
A plant dynamic simulator was developed for analyzing operational characteristics of power generation plants. The main feature of the simulator is an automatic code generation functionality through links to CAD systems containing information on piping and instrumentation of plants that have been specified during plant design. The automatic code generation system is expected to provide significant reductions in development time for new plant dynamic simulators. The automatic code generation system was applied to a conventional power plant system with a condenser and a water feed system. The following results were obtained: 1) Component models were identified from the CAD systems by automatic analysis of the data structure of piping and instrumentation diagrams. 2) The identified component models were automatically related to input and output connections according to the given system piping configurations.
