Abstract
This article introduces a new fully operative teaching simulator for all kind of marine power stations, both placed on boardor on land, allowing to establish an innovative procedure to develop standalone low cost simulators for high levelprofessional instruction of marine engineers, that can be run on conventional computers. This kind of low cost simulatorsopens a new way not only in the teaching and training of marine engineers, but also in the design and implementation ofnew power facilities, allowing to train the operators prior to their work in the real installation.
