Practical Verification of the Advanced Control Algorithms Based on the Virtual Commissioning Methodology - A Case Study

In this paper, the possibility of using the virtual commissioning for developing the advanced controllers for example of electric flow heater is presented. First, based on the process measurement data, the virtual environment is prepared. Then, for selected advanced control algorithms, both virtual and real commissioning was carried out. The results are discussed in the paper and they demonstrate the impact of the applied commissioning method on the control performance provided by each of considered control algorithms.
