Simulation model
We use gPROMS Process to create a simulation model (digital process twin) of the site-wide energy system. The model is implemented on the plant within the gPROMS Digital Applications Platform (gDAP), connected to plant data.
Why gPROMS Utilities?
Siemens’ gPROMS Utilities digital application helps large-scale process sites to minimize day-to-day hydrocarbon fuel requirements – and hence GHG emissions. This can reduce emissions by 3-8% now, without major capital expenditure. The solution uses a digital twin-based optimization technology to provide operators with the most efficient operational settings at any instant.
Key Benefits
Reduce emissions
Digitalize and automate decisions about hydrocarbon fuel requirements to reduce emissions by 3-8% through our innovative digital twin technology.
Maintain control
How involved do you want your operators? Recommendations can be implemented automatically, in closed loop mode, or at the discretion of operators, who can make decisions using the best available data.
Make decisions with confidence
The Optimizer provides a range of suitable changes, from “minimal disruption” to “substantial changes and benefits” (e.g. shut down Boiler A and start up Boiler B). Your operators have instant, expert decision support.
Featured capabilities
all
Quick-interval settings updates
The Optimizer executes every 15 minutes to determine the optimal settings—those that minimize energy consumption for the next period. Implement recommendations automatically or at operator discretion.

Visualizations and dashboards
New settings are provided to operators on visualization screens within the plant automation system or custom dashboards. Easily access and understand key performance and emission data.
