What is COLUMBO?

A universal multivariable optimizer, designed for closed-loop systems, aims to improve the performance and quality of Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems. This optimizer harnesses data from Excel files derived from Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) by Aspen Tech, Robust Model Predictive Control Technology (RMPCT) from Honeywell, or Predict Pro from Emerson, facilitating the development and fine-tuning of precise models for various multivariable-controller variable (MV-CV) pairs. This cutting-edge optimization solution does away with the need for step tests that are usually required by Aspen Tech and Honeywell, functioning entirely in the time domain to maintain user-friendliness, compactness, and efficiency. As Model Predictive Controls (MPC) often involve numerous dynamic models—sometimes tens or even hundreds—there is a significant risk of utilizing incorrect models. Inaccurate dynamic models in MPCs can introduce bias, which appears as model prediction errors, leading to inconsistencies between expected signals and actual sensor measurements. COLUMBO emerges as a robust tool to bolster the precision of Model Predictive Control (MPC) models, effectively leveraging either open-loop or fully closed-loop data to guarantee peak performance. By tackling the risks associated with errors in dynamic models, COLUMBO not only enhances the reliability of the control system but also contributes to a more efficient operational framework. Ultimately, its implementation is expected to yield substantial advancements in control system effectiveness across various applications.

What is AspenTech Grid Apps?

AspenTech Grid Apps is an all-encompassing suite of solutions tailored for the proactive oversight of distribution networks, significantly boosting visibility of system conditions through data crowd-sourcing, enabling connections with Distributed Energy Resources (DER), and enhancing response times during outages. This suite features several essential applications: AspenTech Grid Reporter, which provides real-time information on network outages, faults, and damages, along with alerts about restoration times, crew locations, and emergency contacts; AspenTech DER Connect, which streamlines self-service registration and connection requests for DER while offering automated analysis of electrical networks and costs via a centralized database; AspenTech Network Maps, which presents geographical insights into network load demands and generation capabilities; and AspenTech Resilience Portal, which delivers real-time information on available resources, assistance, and assets during major outages. By integrating these applications, the suite is focused on boosting the operational efficiency and reliability of distribution grids, ultimately serving the needs of both utility operators and consumers. This comprehensive approach ensures that all stakeholders are better equipped to manage challenges and optimize resources in the ever-evolving energy landscape.
