Verification and Validation of Simulated Process
\r\nModel is the most important phase of the simulator life cycle.
\r\nEvaluation of simulated process models based on Verification and
\r\nValidation techniques checks the closeness of each component model
\r\n(in a simulated network) with the real system\/process with respect to
\r\ndynamic behaviour under steady state and transient conditions. The
\r\nprocess of Verification and Validation helps in qualifying the process
\r\nsimulator for the intended purpose whether it is for providing
\r\ncomprehensive training or design verification. In general, model
\r\nverification is carried out by comparison of simulated component
\r\ncharacteristics with the original requirement to ensure that each step
\r\nin the model development process completely incorporates all the
\r\ndesign requirements. Validation testing is performed by comparing
\r\nthe simulated process parameters to the actual plant process
\r\nparameters either in standalone mode or integrated mode.
\r\nA Full Scope Replica Operator Training Simulator for PFBR -
\r\nPrototype Fast Breeder Reactor has been developed at IGCAR,
\r\nKalpakkam, INDIA named KALBR-SIM (Kalpakkam Breeder
\r\nReactor Simulator) where in the main participants are
\r\nengineers\/experts belonging to Modeling Team, Process Design and
\r\nInstrumentation & Control design team. This paper discusses about
\r\nthe Verification and Validation process in general, the evaluation
\r\nprocedure adopted for PFBR operator training Simulator, the
\r\nmethodology followed for verifying the models, the reference
\r\ndocuments and standards used etc. It details out the importance of
\r\ninternal validation by design experts, subsequent validation by
\r\nexternal agency consisting of experts from various fields, model
\r\nimprovement by tuning based on expert’s comments, final
\r\nqualification of the simulator for the intended purpose and the
\r\ndifficulties faced while co-coordinating various activities.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] Scope Document on PFBR Operator Training Simulator , PFBR\/ 08610 \/\r\nDN \/ 1000 \/Rev A, (2003)\r\n[2] Plant Safety Analysis Report, Chapter 14, PFBR Events Analysis Report\r\n[3] T.
