In autumn 2019, the Executive Board of the Western Section of the KTG invited members to an excursion to the Kraftwerks-Simulator-Gesellschaft (KSG) \/ Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Simulatortrianing (GfS) in Essen Kupferdreh on 19 September 2019. The invitation from Mr Schr\u00f6der and Dr Ohnemus was accepted by 12 members, who were able to find out more about KSG's capabilities and challenges.<\/p>\n

KSG is based in Essen Kupferdreh on the Deilbachtal energy campus, where it co-operates with the Power Plant School (KWS) and the Association of Large Power Plant Operators (VGB Powertech).<\/p>\n

For 40 years now, the KSG|GfS simulator centre in Essen has been providing simulator training for the licensed personnel of all German and one Dutch nuclear power plant as a central service provider for nuclear power plant operators. Originally started with two simulators in 1977, the KSG|GfS simulator centre now operates 7 power plant-specific simulators for 9 nuclear power plants. KSG trains the operating personnel responsible for nuclear power plants and thus makes an important contribution to safe operation. Simulator training is an essential part of acquiring and permanently maintaining the officially prescribed expertise of the licence personnel. The training participants learn to understand and operate their nuclear power plant under all conceivable operating conditions. This makes the KSG|GfS simulator centre the largest facility of its kind in the world. The simulators used for the simulator training exactly reproduce the respective nuclear power plant in its appearance and its technical, physical and temporal behaviour. The operating personnel find the same working conditions and requirements here as those that occur or could occur in reality when operating and monitoring the plant. The behaviour of the people in the team is trained as being of equal importance to operating and understanding the technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The participants were able to gain an impression of KSG's work on site in the control centre of a German nuclear power plant that is still in operation and simulate operating situations themselves.<\/div>\n
As a result of the decision to phase out nuclear technology following the reactor disaster in Fukushima in 2011, KSG must also face up to the challenges of the changed framework conditions. The decision to shut down 8 power plants immediately following the phase-out also hit KSG unexpectedly, as there was no longer any need for training.<\/div>\n

KSG has risen to the challenge and continuously developed its range of services and has been able to further develop the findings from core technology, particularly in behaviour-oriented situation management, under the term Human Performance Optimisation (HPO) and transfer them to other areas. HPO stands for professional behaviour - and this is sustainably optimised for employees through HPO training. In many safety-relevant areas and organisations, professional behaviour in the workplace is a decisive factor in addition to technical competence when it comes to working safely and avoiding mistakes. HPO training is therefore used by companies in various industries to further develop occupational safety and process quality.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

This was followed by a lively discussion about the development of safety philosophies outside of nuclear energy, which has its origins in the high standards of German nuclear power plants. But also the challenges of orientating oneself on the market in the long term and being able to survive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
