Abstract
The case study of the dynamic modelling and simulation of the new IRIS power plant control system is presented. After reviewing the base concepts of object-oriented physical modelling, the principles upon which the component libraries are based, and the structure of the plant, the implementation of a system simulator, comprising the physical plant model and the control system model is described. In particular, it is shown how the object-oriented approach allows an efficient management of the different degrees of detail needed through the model life-cycle. A discussion on the simulator performance and some representative results are also included.
