Energy & Process
We have long experience from working with simulation and optimization for energy and process applications. With a solid understanding in how to design physical models, we can help you investigate and realize new technologies. Modelon has delivered solutions in various segments such as:
- Power
- Process
- Chemical
- Oil and Gas
- Utilities
Some examples of applications where we are active:
Fuel Cells
Modelon has extensive experience in fluid modeling and building libraries for fuel cell system level models, both PEM and SOFC applications. We have worked with the design and simulation of various types of Fuel Cells, for space, residential, transport, and power systems applications. Our models and tools are used for conceptual studies, control design, hardware-in-the-loop simulation and more.
Power Plants
With our skills and tools, we can supply solutions with much higher flexibility compared to typical power plant analysis tools. We can handle a very wide range of steam process configurations which allows us to help you evaluate new concepts at very early design phases. This technology is successfully applied in a wide range of power plant types including coal and gas-fired, both large and small-scale power plants.
Carbon separation processes
Modelon works with several large energy suppliers to help them in their development of CO2-separation processes. We have experience from modeling, simulation and optimization of several different approaches to produce CO2-free power.
Hydro Plants
We have delivered solutions that are applied throughout all the phases of a hydro-plant's life cycle including planning & design, commissioning, production, as well as scheduling of maintenance and updates.
Process Industry
Modelon's JModelica.org open source Modelica platform has been applied for grade change optimization in polyethene production at Borealis in Stenungsund, Sweden. Modelica models that described the physics of the process are combined with state of the art optimization algorithms. The result is an off-line tool that is used by process operators to plan grade changes as cost efficient as possible.
