About This Module

The Power Plant Sensor Placement simulator trains engineers and technicians to correctly identify and position instrumentation sensors on an industrial power plant layout. Trainees drag sensor symbols — temperature, pressure, and flow — onto the correct measurement points on a realistic plant graphic.

Unlike passive training materials, this module gives instant visual feedback: correct placements snap into place, while incorrect ones return to the start — reinforcing learning through active decision-making rather than passive reading.

What You'll Learn
Identify correct temperature measurement points — boiler casings, steam lines and process piping
Locate pressure tapping positions for gauge and differential pressure transmitters
Position inline flow sensors on the correct process pipe segments
Understand the spatial layout of a typical power plant instrumentation scheme
Build confidence placing sensors safely before working on live plant equipment
Interpret sensor symbol conventions used in industrial P&IDs

How the Game Works
01
Select a Sensor Card

Choose from three sensor symbol cards — temperature, pressure, or flow. Each shows the P&ID symbol and a brief description of where it is used in plant instrumentation.

02
Drag to the Plant

Drag the sensor card over the power plant image. Blank label zones highlight as you hover. Both mouse drag and touch-drag are fully supported on all devices.

03
Instant Feedback

Correct placements snap in and are counted toward your score. Incorrect ones bounce back to the panel — reinforcing the right answer without discouraging the trainee. All 7 placements must be correct to complete the exercise.
