**7. Conclusion**

The convenience of the use of simulators for operators' training has been proved since long time ago.

The gas turbine simulator presented is a replica, high-fidelity, plant specific simulator for operators training.

The simulator was tested in all the operation range from cold start to 100% of load and fulfils the performance specified by the client, including a comparison of its results with plant data. It was tested and validated by the client itself (personnel having experience in the combined cycle power plant operation and in the use of simulators for qualification). This simulator presently is being used for training of CFE Turbo Gas power plant operators.

The project was designed and satisfactorily finished by following a methodology assuring the ending on time and with the goals properly accomplished. The *MAS* proved to be a developing platform as well as the final simulator platform.

The results confirmed that the simulator methodology and modelling approach is appropriate to develop a training device.
