Abstract
In this chapter we present the development of a combined cycle power plant simulator for operator’s training. This simulator has been designed and developed by the Simulation Department of the Instituto de Investigaciones Eléctricas. This is one of the several technological developments carried out by the Simulation Department, and it is part of a full scale simulators group that belongs to the Comisión Federal de Electricidad that offers the electrical service in the whole country. The simulator is currently under testing and evaluation by the final user, before entering on service at the National Center for Operator’s Training and Qualification. Tendencies of these development and impact within the operators’ scope as well as some results and future works are also presented.

Acknowledgment
The simulators developed by the SD of the IIE have been projects carried out thanks to the effort, enthusiastic and very professional hard work of researchers and technicians of the IIE as well as the co-operation of operators, trainers and support personnel of CFE training center. This project was carried out thanks to the financial support of CFE; R. Cruz was the technical manager as client counterpart; A. Matías took part as specialized operator during the simulator tests.
About the SD personnel’s labor, it is necessary to mention that all researchers participants contributed with their valuable experience during design steps, implementation and final tests concerning to this simulator.
