Abstract: A novel dynamic co-simulation methodology of overall wind turbine systems is presented. This methodology combines aerodynamics, mechanism dynamics, control system dynamics, and subsystems dynamics. Aerodynamics and turbine properties were modeled in FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamic, Structures, and Turbulence), and ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) performed the mecha...

Social simulation is often described as a multidisciplinary and fast-moving field. This can make it difficult to obtain an overview of the field both for contributing researchers and for outsiders who are interested in social simulation. The Journal for Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS) completing its tenth year provides a good opportunity to take stock of what happened over th...

This document provides an overview of Hardware Co-Simulation in System Generator for DSP from a performance perspective, and provides information to help reduce long simulation run times. • have a basic understanding of how a System Generator for DSP design fits into the Simulink® simulation environment. • understand the motivation for and operation of frame-based Hardware Co-Simulation impleme...

Thermodynamic restrictions and simultaneous effects of operational conditions on the homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol are studied in this line of research. It is shown that the general NRTL-Virial model can be appropriated to study thermodynamics of the carbonylation. It is obtained that the reaction is kinetically and thermodynamically reasonable at temperatures abov...

The increasing complexity of real-time systems makes their simulation and validation a demanding task. For most systems, the simulation has to take into account both continuous time and discrete events, and the challenge is to create a co-simulation environment that allows synchronization and interaction between the two worlds. This paper proposes a model-based code-in-the-loop co-simulation fr...

In most embedded control system (ECS) designs, multiple engineering disciplines and various domain-specific models are involved, such as embedded software models in discrete-event (DE) domain and dynamic plant model in continuous-time (CT) domain. In this paper, we advocate collaborative modelling and co-simulation to verify different aspects of the system as a whole before implementation. This...

[1] We have conducted an observing system simulation experiment for the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) satellite instrument to determine the potential of nadir retrievals of carbon monoxide (CO) from this instrument to constrain estimates of continental sources of CO. We use the GEOS-CHEM global chemical transport model to produce a pseudoatmosphere in which the relationship between s...

Simulation of fluid power systems typically requires models from multiple disciplines. Achieving accurate load dynamics for a system with complex geometry, for example, may require both a 1D model of the hydraulic circuit and a 3D multi-body model. However, most simulation tools are limited to a single discipline. A solution to these kinds of problems is co-simulation, where different tools are...
