CPC Dynamic Simulation

The dynamic simulation is a very powerful tool to be used for several control system issues. It consists of an algorithm designed to be a faithful reproduction of the behavior of a process. Therefore, it is a very useful tool for the design, development, analysis, testing and optimization of any process.

The concept aim is:

• Process validation, instrumentation validation,... in the design phase of the projects.
• Conducting a feasibility study to evaluate different process operating modes.
• Definition of new operating practices for new plant operation points.
• Debugging of the algorithm, reducing the required time for commissioning and start-up.
• Final in-plant testing of all functionalities on the control system once implemented.
• Testing of controls in dangerous scenarios that cannot be tested in the actual installation.
• Operator training by integrating it with other process simulators via OPC.

However, building a simulation is always a challenging aspect of any control systems related project, depending highly on the process requirements from the process engineering department of each and every customer. Working hand in hand with the customer is therefore essential to build an efficient Dynamic Simulation.
