Dynamic energy solutions
Industrial facilities within the energy sector are highly influenced by operational transients and dynamic disturbances. To address the sector’s challenges, we deliver advanced, multivariate control solutions that continuously manipulate operating variables to account for measured, estimated and anticipated disturbances. Our deliveries result in digital solutions that consistently reach maximum plant performance. Our applications use efficient estimation algorithms to correct our dynamic models online to avoid model degradation and maintain reliable plant predictions.
Modelica library for Oil & Gas applications
Cybernetica has developed an in-house Modelica library for building digital twins optimised for soft sensing and control purposes. The library contains models for typical Oil & Gas unit processes and can be used to build computationally efficient models for large-scale production plants.
The Modelica models can be used with Cybernetica’s products for model-based estimation and control through the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI). The result is shorter development time for both small- and large-scale Oil & Gas control applications based on mechanistic models.
