The company will provide its L-3’s Orchid simulation environment and will also provide an additional simulator specifically to train field personnel on emergency diesel generator (EDG) operations to DTE Energy.
L-3 MAPPS Power Systems and Simulation vice president Michael Chatlani said the company has a record of performing work on the Fermi 2 simulator.
"We are pleased to have this follow-on opportunity to advance the Fermi simulator using today’s state-of-the-art technology," said Chatlani.
For the current project, L-3 MAPPS will continue to upgrade the efficiency of the Fermi 2 simulator by updating all of the simulation computers to the latest generation.
It will also migrate the models and simulator maintenance tools from the previous generation of L-3 software to its user-friendly, industry-leading Orchid simulation environment.
In addition, an EDG simulator will be deployed, with virtual panels based on L-3’s Orchid Touch Interface solution.
The project is expected to start immediately and is scheduled to be complete by the first quarter of 2012.
