Fossil Consulting Services, Inc. (FCS) training

Simulator training has proven to be the most effective way to train control room operators who are responsible for the safe and efficient operation of large, DCS-controlled power plants. FCS has developed and implemented training programs in support of simulators for nearly twenty DCS-controlled power plants. Our training programs are designed to be relevant and effective by focusing on helping the control room operators and other plant personnel to develop and improve the skills they need to operate their generating units reliably and efficiently. This structured and organized training is designed so that the operators will become proficient and confident in the shortest possible time.

Plant-specific operations training is a vital component to helping plant personnel understand the configuration of plant systems, component capabilities and limitations, and control and operation of plant systems, equipment, and processes. Effective training must be designed to ensure that operating personnel have a thorough understanding of controls in order to operate, diagnose, and troubleshoot plant problems during all operating conditions.
