INVIDES Redefining Asset Simulation

INVIDES Redefining Asset Simulation

Domains

The versatility of INVIDES extends across many industries, thanks to its robust model architecture and the different underlying computational methods.
Starting from the development of comprehensive power plant simulators and adopting pioneering water vapour-liquid equilibrium calculations, INVIDES has evolved to cover a wide range of applications. From the simulation of fossil and nuclear power plants with their varied types of turbines, SimQuation has extended the INVIDES model core using hydrocarbon equilibrium calculations, which are then incorporated into process models for the energy industry. In line with the INVIDES process models, SimQuation has consistently prioritised the development and enhancement of our power system simulation capabilities and the associated electrical grids. These are of significant value in power plants, but also – to other process industries. SimQuation has also integrated a system for simulating complex control logic systems. All these elements together form an integrated, comprehensive approach to process simulation. The latest evolutionary step in the development of the SimQuation model core has been the implementation of chemical reactions. This has enabled SimQuation to create process models for a huge number of possible applications and unit operations that can be simulated, ranging from refinery processes  and petrochemical to Power-to-x.

INVIDES is a platform for dynamic and fully compositional simulation of processes which can be found in the chemical, energy and power generation industry.

Due to its fine-grained model design, INVIDES can be used to address challenges which can be found in these different industries.

INVIDESThe Platform

The simulation model created with INVIDES can be utilized to:

  • De-bottleneck the plant design, even before it is built
  • Optimize the facilities operations taking into consideration different constraints such as costs, GHG emissions, or others
  • Train operators under normal or emergency conditions

A unique selling point of INVIDES is the capability to create holistic simulation models of complex processes using only one tool.

INVIDESThe Foundation

For the concept of a digital oilfield to become a reality, a strong foundation to describe the asset’s dynamic process model is essential. The accuracy and quality of the modeling is the key for obtaining reliable results, which can subsequently be used as input to further improve decision making for planning or optimizations. Our modeling platform of choice is INVIDES: the result of decades of development and experience from the innovative team. The first step on the journey to the digital oilfield is modeling the way of the hydrocarbons from the wells through the refinery exporting the marketable hydrocarbons as accurately as possible.
