A simulation system in particular for a control system which controls a process running in a technical system is provided. The control system has at least one first process environment embodied as a container and which is also designed to simulate the automatic process to be run in the system and includes corresponding interfaces to the guidance system. The simulation system includes, in addition to the first process environment, a second process environment embodied as a container for simulating the hardware of the periphery of the guidance system and a third process environment embodied as a container for simulating the process to be run in the technical system. In another embodiment, all process environments can also be combined to form one process environment. In both variations, the interfaces of the first process environment and the interfaces of the second process environment are practically identical to the interfaces of the third process environment. A method for carrying out a simulation, a corresponding control system, and computer program product are also provided.

A method and a device for monitoring the combustion of fuel in a power station are provided. An actual concentration distribution of a material in a combustion chamber is measured, the actual concentration distribution is evaluated, taking into consideration a combustion stochiometry, and conclusions are drawn regarding a composition of the fuel on the basis of the evaluation that has been carried out.

Method of determining a composition of fuel in a power station

The invention relates to a process control system comprising a calculating unit enabling a charge value (W) to be determined from operations occurring in the process control system. Preferably, said process control system comprises a process control computer with a web server and a computer which is used to access the processes control computer via Internet. The charging value (W) is especially a service fee which is to be paid to an application service provider by a user of the process control system.

Process control system with a charging function

A method is disclosed for a system including at least one process management computer and a number of field devices, whereby status and control signals are transmitted between at least some of the field devices and the process management computer using a TCP/IP protocol over a communication channel, preferably a radio connection and/or the Internet. A process management system includes a process management computer with a web-server, a client computer with an Internet browser and a number of sensors and actuators. The process management system may preferably be operated by way of the Internet, using the client computer.

The invention relates to a process diagnosis system and a method for the diagnosis of processes and states in a technical process, in particular for the diagnosis of a power station process. The invention is a structured multi-agent system which corresponds to the process and has a plurality of autonomous diagnostic agents. The diagnostic agents in each case contain a neural network, with whose aid a reference behavior of process components that are to be monitored can be learned. In addition, automatic adaptation to a new reference behavior is also possible by the diagnostic agents.
