ARCHITECTURE OF THE SOFTWARE FOR SIMULATING THE PROCESSES IN BIOGAS PLANTS

Abstract

Due to massive missile attacks on the objects of critical infrastructure of Ukraine emergency and stabilization power outages regularly occur in different regions of Ukraine, that is why, the current task for energy sector of the country is to increase the capacity of the available energy generating units or develop renewable sources of energy. Biogas production, using the method of the organic waste processing of human waste, farm waste and agricultural waste is one of the priority directions of the alternative (green) energy development. At the same time, enhancement of the efficiency of this production requires the development of new approaches to the processes management in biogas plants, based on the application of information technologies and methods of mathematical modeling. The given research substantiates the usage of modern information technologies and mathematical modeling on the base of the analysis of the interval data, as efficient tools for the processes management, taking place in biogas plants. Usage of the interval modeling enables to construct models with guaranteed predictive properties. The paper presents the characteristic features of the software architecture construction for mathematical modeling of the processes, taking place in biogas plants. Main aspects of the software realization, intended for modeling the processes in biogas plants are described, characteristic feature of the software is program interpretation of the interval discrete models and open service-oriented architecture, which provides their integration into the available control systems of biogas plants, it enables to perform real-time management of biochemical processes, increasing the efficiency of biogas plants performance. The research contains a number of diagrams, illustrating the peculiarities of program realization of the environment, intended for modeling the processes in biogas plants, specific features of its implementation in the universal system of simulation and modeling of biogas units SIMBA#biogas functioning is outlined.
