CASSIM^TM Software is a modular open software architecture for simulation model development. CASSIM™ software utilizes simulation block language for modeling. The simulation blocks represent specific components in a power plant and they can be interconnected in a configuration similar to the physical configuration of the plant. This applies to process system modeling, electrical system modeling, as well as control logic modeling.

The CANDU-900 MWe Compact Simulator was originally developed to assist Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) in the design of the plant display system. As the simulator development evolved, the Simulator is now used as an educational and training tool in the university nuclear engineering program studies at countries having the CANDU reactors, such as Canada, Korea, China, and Romania.

The Generic BWR NPP Simulator is a PC based simulator and has a dynamic response with sufficient fidelity to provide BWR plant responses during normal operations and accident situations. It also has a user-machine interface that mimics the actual control panel instrumentation, including the plant display system, and more importantly, allows user’s interactions with the simulator during the operation of the simulated BWR plant.

The purpose of the 600 MW(e) advanced PWR reactor NPP simulator is educational — to provide a training tool for university professors and engineers involved in teaching topics related to the advanced passive PWR reactor. Nuclear engineers, scientists and trainers familiar with the conventional PWR would find this simulator useful in broadening their understanding of the advanced PWR characteristics, transients, power plant dynamics, and passive safety features. As such, this simulator is currently used in the IAEA Workshop "NPP Simulators for Education".

Refuse - To - Energy Power Plant Simulator

This simulator is a dynamic model of a 11 MW Refuse to Energy power plant. It is based on a real plant in Los Angeles - COMMERCE Refuse-to-Energy Facility. The plant is in operation since 1981. It uses air pollution control devices consisting of ammonia and limestone injection into the furnace, followed by a dry scrubber and finishing with a baghouse. The facility burns an average of 360 tons of trash per day and generate a net 10 MW of electricity for 20,000 Southern California homes. The simulator is currently used for operator training.

This simulator is a dynamic model of a 52 MW Landfill Gas to Energy power plant. It is based on a real plant in Los Angeles - The Puente Hills Energy Recovery (PERG) Facility in Whittier, California. The Puente Hills Landfill has over 42 millions tons of trash in place and is currently receiving refuse at the rate of 72,000 tons per week.  Approximately 20,000 SCFM of landfill gas is collected and burned to produce an average of 52 MW of electricity. The Simulator is currently used for operator training.
