Important results from the project

The simulation results of the generator power during GT start-up from the model depend on communication interval and error tolerance. To achieve accurate results, the simulation settings need to be tightened up which increases the simulation time dramatically. This encouraged us to develop further advanced simulation technologies, such as a master-algorithm with variable step size and input extrapolation based on output derivative information.

Expected long term effects

The project goal of this joint energy demonstrator was to combine and co-simulate Functional Mock-up Units (FMU´s) from four different suppliers, to show that each supplier’s verified knowledge, expressed by their FMU, could be used for design, and transient analysis of a power plant.

Approach and implementation

The OMSimulator developed by LiU has the capability for early multi-domain simulations in the design and configuration phase but also supporting behavior control in the operational and recycling phase and support closed loops for a sustainable environment. With this new technology and with the promising co-simulation test results of the generated FMU´s from different Partners, will be able to support the vision of sustainable zero emission power plants with optimized solutions and also bridge technologies from different partners.
