T/IB126/24) - Tritium Plant Virtual Control Room

UKAEA is currently designing a new tritium processing plant, referred to as the Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology (H3AT) Facility. The H3AT Facility will be located on the UKAEA Culham site in the existing H3AT building. A virtual control room for the H3AT facility is required to train operators, engineers and users on the operation of the facility, by providing the capability to simulate the behaviour of the tritium processing plant. It is envisaged that this will be similar to the operator training simulators used elsewhere in industrial processing plants. The design for the H3AT facility is based on process models developed using AVEVA Process Simulation software. The process control and safety systems for the H3AT facility consists of the following three systems: • H3AT Integrated Control System • H3AT Integrated Interlock System • H3AT Integrated Safety System The envisaged scope of supply is for the design, build and installation of a virtual control room, including the requisite hardware, software, licences and furniture. The supplier is expected to provide a fully integrated solution incorporating both Siemens PCS7/S7 for the control and safety system and AVEVA Process Simulation software for the process modelling. Initial requirements for the process control and safety system include the requisite hardware for a Siemens PCS7 control system, and S7 control and safety PLC’s. Four workstations are required to be used as both operator and engineering workstations, with two or three monitors per workstation.
