Abstract:
The paper presents a digital twin of a local heating station with aΒ heat consumption loop of a building. It contains a model of the object of control in a PLC which is utilized to stabilize the temperature inside the building. The work discusses the development of the application for process control based on theΒ model loaded into a PLC. The distinguishing feature of the approach is based on code generation from a mathematical model of the control object created in MATLAB Simulink. An additional goal for the control system of the heating station deals with environmental conditions, namely, outdoor temperature. The model of a water-jet unit is built, simulated data are presented, and discussed, the control system is investigated, and the analysis of the data is carried out. The model is checked based on data for the city of St. Petersburg, Russia as an example. Implementation of the approach leads to overcoming risks and disadvantages of reactive organization of heating housing services, theΒ main of which are downtime of the heating supply process and life quality reduction for energy end-users.
