Dynamic Simulations supporting the Design Process of a real Combined Heat and Power Application in Switzerland

The overall model is prepared to be coupled to the real plant control system which will allow virtual commissioning in the next step. This allows pre-tuning of control parameters as well as a weakness analysis which again helps to speed up the commissioning process. In General, the dynamic simulations proved to be a useful tool that deepened the insight and understanding of the plant operation at an early project phase and therefore greatly supported the making of design decisions. After commissioning, the calibrated simulation models will be used for monitoring purposes.
