1. A modeling system for a plant system of a power plant, comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
a non-transitory memory, the non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or hardware processors, causes the one or more hardware processors to perform actions comprising:
receiving a selection of one or more pre-engineered sub-modules from a plurality of pre-engineered sub-modules for a plant system module, wherein each pre-engineered sub-module is configured to be scalable over a defined range both for an entire class product range and each potential power plant configuration, and each pre-engineered sub-module is parametrized within the defined range with a pre-defined parametric relationship;
receiving values for one or more variables for the defined range for the one or more pre-engineered sub-modules;
generating a pre-engineered and parametrized sub-module model for each of the one or more pre-engineered sub-modules based on the values for the one or more variables; and
generating a plant system module model from the pre-engineered and parametrized sub-module models by assembling the pre-engineered and parametrized sub-module models together according to pre-defined rules.
