Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for processing and graphically displaying power plant data. In one embodiment, one or more values corresponding to one or more parameters associated with the performance of one or more power plant components may be received. A subset of the parameters associated with one or more operational characteristics based in part on the values may be determined. One or more display parameters may be selected that includes inputting at least a numerical range associated with at least one axis. The one or more parameter values in the subset may be scaled based in part on the inputted numerical range. A graphical representation may be generated and output on a graphical user interface that includes the one or more values within the numerical range on the at least one axis corresponding to each parameters in the subset based in part on the one or more display parameters.

Abstract: A system includes a first processor configured to intake a schema definition file. The schema definition file defines a set of rules that a data document must follow. The processor extracts one or more data adherence rules from the schema definition file and stores the extracted data adherence rules. Accordingly, subsequent data generation, configuration and/or validation of one or more system data objects may occur without requiring the creation of the data document.

Abstract: An industrial control system is provided that includes an application module with machine-readable instructions in a first format. The instructions specify inputs, outputs, processing, or any combination thereof, relating to a process of the industrial control system. The industrial control system also includes a conversion server with a processor that creates a platform-specific application by converting the application module in the first format to a second format that is understandable by a common computing platform of the industrial control system.

Abstract: Certain embodiments may include systems and methods for presenting data associated with a power plant configuration tool. In one embodiment, a method may include creating configurations of inter-object relationships among a plurality of asset objects of a massive object model, loading the object model, changing values of data member attributes of at least one of the asset objects with a plant configuration tool without changing software code of plant configuration tool, saving the configurations in a permanent storage location, and retrieving the configurations for display to a user.

Abstract: A control system asset management method includes calling a web service for at least one of persisting, reading, and saving an edited control system asset, receiving a data structure associated with the control system asset and control system asset information, in response to receiving the data structure, generating a message verifying receipt of the data structure and making a call to a database for at least one of persisting, reading and saving an edited control system asset, wherein the database is configured to store the data structure and relationships of the data structure to a plurality of data structures in the control system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and maintaining configuration and management of power plant assets are described herein. A list of possible plant assets are received from a plant information model. One or more hardware assets describing a configuration of a particular power plant are selected, such as turbines, pumps, control interfaces, and so forth. Hierarchical relationships between at least a portion of the selected assets are defined. Asset configuration data is generated based at least in part on the selection and the defined relationships.

Abstract: Systems and methods providing distributed training simulations are provided. A system may include a trainer station computer in operable communication with multiple trainee workstation computers. The trainer station computer can be operable to: facilitate simulation of plant operations on at least one of the trainee workstation computers; and monitor operations performed by at least one of the trainee workstation computers. The trainee workstation computers can be operable to: display the simulation of plant operations to a user; receive control instructions input to cause a change in the simulation of plant operations; and transmit to the trainer station computer information associated with at least one of: (a) the control instructions input; or (b) the change in the simulation of plant operations.
