How is UniSim used for a re-instrumentation project?
The primary objective during re-instrumentation of a plant is to ensure a smooth changeover to the new DCS. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to select the best control strategy, and reduce DCS implementation errors. UniSim can be used with a simulation model that connects directly to the actual plant control devices and the DCS operator console. The system can then be employed during staging to test the control strategy, DCS configuration, and advanced control strategy before being used on the plant.
