“…However, for the instructor if they want to solve this problem of the beginner's time-consuming and energyconsumption, it is necessary to improve and upgrade the courseware tool based on the traditional blackboard writing and a Powerpoint courseware of conventional type [17][18][19][20]. Authorware can remedy many shortcomings for general Powerpoint courseware because of its own advantages [21][22][23]. However, Authorware application is still few and has larger development spaces.…”

Abstract-Human-computer interaction and animation are introduced to Powerpoint teaching platform based on conventional teaching methods in order to improve teaching effects. Flue gas desulfurization of limestone-gypsum of thermal power plant is used to make teaching investigation as a sample in this paper because it is a mainstream technology in above 300 MW coal-fired thermal power plants. Authorware erects a bridge between Powerpoint and industrial technology to provide some demonstrations such as system recognition with equipments and its function, system operation with different substance flow and test questions with certain knowledge training. Utilizing authorware tools a Powerpoint courseware embedded by an executed file of macromedia authorware 7 Runtime is formed, which has both numerous advantages of conventional courseware and substantial features of innovation. Under the help of the courseware, not only lectures can expound those equipments and running working conditions of the desulfurization system clearly, but also learners can have a more profound understanding for mass transfer, heat transfer, momentum transfer and chemical reaction in an industrial process related to environmental protection of thermal power plant fleetly, which brings a fruit with a win-win both professor and students.

“…All kinds of technology according to their characteristics have different applicable scope and development directions, but it needs to take a lot of energy and time for beginners to master relevant knowledge. In order to master the design content and process more easily for beginners, multimedia software, Authorware, is used to teaching, test or research [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. However, it still is not used to electrical engineering teaching, especially for thermal power production.…”

In order to solve the difficulty that beginner can not understand and grasp basic knowledge of thermal power plant in a short time, static demo, dynamic demo and test questions were done by using the construction design function of Authorware. The result shows that the frameworks design of Authorware have similarities to industrial process structure. After the software is run, equipments and its functions of thermal power plant can be displayed clearly from the static pictures and process of animation selective catalytic reduction denitrification can be exhibited vividly from dynamic scenes. Besides, test questions can help courseware learners to consolidate basic knowledge of thermal power plant. Moreover, selective catalytic reduction denitrification process of thermal power plant is regarded first as a sample to apply for teaching practice of power production.

Abstract-A circulating fluidized bed boiler as an important component of thermal power plant is used to make an investigation of simulation training software to solve a problem of study system independently lack for trainers and teaching software shortage for training directors. Authorware, a human-computer interaction tool, provides specific solving scheme to develop this software. The software development investigation shows that the simulation training system can demonstrate the equipments and system clearly and can strengthen fundamental knowledge easily for trainers and training director. Moreover, the material, energy conversion and transfer process of thermal power plant not only can be understood deeply by self-learners, but also it can be narrated conveniently by lectures.
