Siemens Industry Software SAS – SIEME

Siemens Industry Software SAS PL STS CAE1D division, formerly known as LMS Imagine prior to its acquisition in 2013, develops since over 20 years the Imagine.Lab Amesim multi-domain dynamic simulation solution. The Simulation and Testing (STS) division now also includes the recent acquis ions of CD-ADPACO and Mentor Graphics companies. The Amesim solution is used by worldwide transportation, industry and energy OEMs, integrators and suppliers to predict the multidisciplinary performance, efficiency and emissions of their systems. The Amesim solution is made of a platform integrating multiple solvers, languages (bond-graph, MODELICA, state charts), coupling capabilities (FMI, S-functions, etc.), pre and post-processing tools, scripting tools, and large set of standard libraries counting over 5000 validated component models addressing multiple application domains. The Amesim research and development teams count over 100 engineers located in Lyon and Roanne, France.

In the energy production domain, Siemens involved teams count customers like Siemens AG, Rolls Royce, GE, Alstom Grid or Schneider Electric.

Role in the project

In the PUMP-HEAT project, Siemens will:

  • set up new combined cycle power plant Amesim models (1D) integrating the new thermal systems
  • develop the necessary components models when needed, with the relevant technical approach (1D, embedded 3D CFD, 3D CFD coupling with model reduction, etc)
  • use these models to support the integration of the new thermal systems and the development of new control systems, their calibration and preliminary validation (WP4). In this context, Siemens will couple Amesim simulator using Model in the Loop, Software in the Loop and Hardware in the Loop technologies, relying as possible on standard coupling interfaces (Sfunction, PLC intefaces, FMI, dll export…).
  • investigate advanced control technologies embedding reduced models in controllers (optimal control, predictive control, virtual sensors and estimators)

The main outcome for Siemens will be the new developed features to be exploited as part of its Amesim commercial software, the acquired know-how related to flexible CCPP operation, the validation of MiL/SiL/HiL techniques for CCPP applications, the exploitation or reduced models and the dissemination of the Amesim contribution to the achieved plant performances. According to its wide experience at industrial level, Siemens will lead WP4 about PHCC layout performance simulation and control.
