Introduction

• In order to meet the nation’s demand in the new millennium, Tenaga Nasional Berhad has designed Stesen Janaelektrik Manjung with capacity of 3 x 700 MW (2100MW) coal fired power plant. At present, Stesen Janaelektrik Manjung will be operating as Independent Power Plant of TNB and will be known as TNB Janamanjung Sdn. Bhd. which is fully owned by Tenaga Nasional Berhad. It is required to supply electric power to TNB via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

• TNB Janamanjung is also operating as a strategic business enterprise (SBE) under the Generation Division of TNB.The responsibility comes along; all Stesen Janaelektrik Manjung staff are expected to perform up to the required competency level. Every tripping at the station will cost the loss of revenue millions per day/unit. Hence, these incidents can be reduced through proper training programs and services provided.

• In line with that, Tenaga Nasional Berhad agreed fo TNB Janamanjung to undertake a project to develop, construct and commission a full-scale real time PC-based simulator base on the actual 3 X 700 MW coal fired Stesen Janaelektrik Manjung. This simulator system will be used to retrain and upgrade the competency and capability skills of Stesen Janaelektrik Manjung technical staffs. The project has been awarded to NJSB-RDE JV and kick-off date was on 3rd July 2006. The 20 months project will be completed on 3rd March 2008
