Abstract
Optimizing production rate changes and abnormal
situations of process plants induce a number of design
and performance criteria for Advanced Process Control
(APC). In addition to stabilizing control APC must also
possess optimal performance within wide operating regions
in capacity changes and abnormal situations with
changing, preset criteria. This paper deals with the
verification of APC against plant specific performance
criteria utilizing a safe simulation environment with
seamless co-simulation of two rigorous dynamic
simulators. The presented simulation environment enables
extended hard-testing of the APC capabilities to possess
autonomous functionalities and to manage also involved
environmental risks in abnormal situations. A refinery
process furnace has been presented as a case study of the
presented subject.
