Abstract
Abstract A proposal is presented for the hybrid modeling and dynamic simulation of automated batch processing plants with dominant discrete-event behavior. The proposal encompasses current techniques for modeling continuous-time/discrete-event processes, synthesizing discrete-event controllers as well as the use of industrial standards for batch control. The result is a hierarchical-modular model of a plant in which process and control tasks are clearly differentiated. Implementation rules are established for a specific dynamic simulator capable of handling hybrid systems. The approach is demonstrated by building and verifying a complete model for an automated milk pasteurization plant. Results show that handling problems of realistic complexity is feasible using state-of-the-art technology.
