Modeling of an Experimental Batch Plant with Modelica

Kurzfassung

A Modelica model of an experimental batch plant installed at the Process Control Laboratory (AST) of the University of Dortmund was developed. The plant model consists of tanks, pipes, valves, pumps and a control system to mix, buffer, heat, cool and evaporate a mixture of water and sodium chloride. Details of the most important components, of the plant model and of the sequence control implemented with the Modelica StateGraph library are discussed.
