Research And Development On Configuration Simulation Software For Power Station Based On COM

With the development of computation and information technology, configuration software and system simulation make a great progress. The configuration software can provide the friendly user interface by various configurations and it is very easy to master. The target of the configuration software is to reduce development or update works. With little programming, users only do some given configuration scheme to meet the requirement analysis.We can use the simulation system for power station to verify the module and do some simulations experiment in advance. With the simulation system, we can save time of experiment and reduce the development risk. So the simulation system is very significant for the design of real power station. Compare with the traditional simulation system, the simulation system which can be configured is more flexible and expansible. In this paper, we introduce the research and development of the simulation software for the power station which can be configured. A small experiment station to simulate the power station is used as the hardware platform for the software. We used COM technology to develop the configuration software. So the code can be reused and the software is expansible and easy to maintenance.In this paper, first, we introduce the concept and benefit of the simulation and the concept and the development of the configuration software. At the same time, we discuss the benefit of the simulation software which can be configured. Then we introduce the hardware platform and the requirement of the software system. After that, we briefly describe the design idea of the configuration software: the software is divided into several layers. After we discuss several technologies used in the development of the software, we describe several software layers in this configuration software and their communication each other particularly, including COM server layer, control layer and configuration layer. COM server layer is responsible for the communication with hardware drivers and communication among computers. The duty of Control layer is to design visual controls which can simulate the element in power station, such as power,load and so on. The responsibility of configuration layer is to use control to implement the entire simulation power station system.Finally, a conclusion of the project is conducted. Besides, further discussion is presented.
