Re: [TRNSYS-users] Using TRNSYS to build power cycle model

[Jeff Thornton <thornton@tess-inc.com>]

Fu Yiwei,

TRNSYS is a great tool for creating power plant models.  But unlike many other tools that make a bunch of assumptions about what you want to do, TRNSYS allows you full flexibility when developing the model.  The screen capture you sent is somewhat difficult to understand - but if the user had taken some time and used layers and different colored lines to represent the different fluids and controls, it becomes very easy to understand.  It just takes a bit of time to make it more readable but it is worth the extra effort!  You can use colors on the lines to represent temperatures or different fluids, you can group components on multiple layers (an air layer, a condensate layer etc.); lots of options.

Hello,

I am trying to use TRNSYS to build Rankine cycle in the coal-fired power plant, but the information transfer flow between components could be very confusing and disordered.

The following picture is a screenshot of a part of the model. It is already too complicated to understand and debug. So, is TRNSYS suitable for build a complicated power cycle model?
