  • Methods and apparatus to compensate first principle-based simulation models
    Patent number: 8560283
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to compensate first principle-based simulation models are disclosed. An example method to compensate a first-principle based simulation model includes applying one or more first test inputs to a process system to generate first output data, applying one or more second test inputs to a first principle model to generate second output data, generating an error model based on the first and second output data, applying input data to the first principle model to generate simulation model output data, and compensating the model data via the error model to generate compensated model output data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2013
    Assignee: Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc.
    Inventors: Xu Cheng, Richard Williams Kephart, Charles Menten
