Abstract

The paper discusses current approaches to the modelling and simulation of thermo-hydraulic processes, to be used as a tool for system studies in thermal power plant control. After reviewing the desirable features of simulation environments, an approach based on the Modelica language is presented and motivated. Finally, the general concepts presented above are exemplified by modelling a simple process based on a heat exchanger.
