DISPLAY AND EVALUATION TECHNIQUES FOR STUDENT PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT DATA.

Two performance measurement techniques which are uniquely applicable to power plant simulators are presented. One method monitors procedural technique while the other measures parameter performance of the process being controlled. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique are discussed. It is concluded, parameter performance is simpler to implement and yields results which can be correlated from one control system (consisting of the control board layout, instrument configuration, and set of procedures) to another. A method for selecting key parameters is recommended. Finally, a data display format is shown which enables an instructor to quickly compare student performance to a measured standard of good performance.
