Experience of virtual commissioning of a process control system for the production of high-paraffin oil

Yury V Ilyushin et al. Sci Rep. .

Abstract

This work describes the experience in developing and testing software for oil industry automation control systems based on the simulation of technological processes and control systems combined in virtual reality, this approach is called virtual commissioning and is widely used in the world both to create automated process control systems and to simulate interactions between different systems.
