Abstract
The power plant control room simulator is a learning device that resembles the control system in a real power plant. There are not many power plant simulator training providers in Indonesia due to high investment, where complexity and efficacy are exchanged for cost. This research aims to determine the acceptance of the power plant main control simulator as an operator learning media in Indonesia using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This research is explanatory research with perceived ease of use variable, perceptions of usefulness, attitude toward using, and actual usage. The research was performed by conducting a survey to 113 respondents (operators) from 17 power plants in Indonesia who have been trained using power plant main control simulators. The obtained data from the questionnaires are analyzed through the smartPLS. The results of this quantitative study indicate that the perceived usefulness variable has positive and strong effect on the attitude toward simulator usage, besides that it also has a moderate effect on actual usage variable. While the perceived ease of use has a positive and moderate influence on the attitude toward simulator usage. Thus, the intended use of the power plant main control simulator is influenced by the usefulness of the simulator itself.
