Design and implementation of a system to control the testing line for the testing and assessment of heat transfer and control units used in district-heating systems (i.e., complete district-heating substations, various control valves, etc.).

simulation of conditions in district heating autonomous execution of experiments, repeatability conditions during experiment prescribed by the user several special-purpose controllers that keep the process under control during simulated variable-operating conditions monitoring and automatic report generation automatic preparation of the testing line (initialization)

Special control algorithms for accurate control of temperature, pressure and flow rates. Since the process is highly multivariable, there is an emphasis on decoupling of the control loops and rejecting the disturbances, which appear due to the interference of control loops.

Simple testing of district-heating equipment, used also for demonstration for customers and the education of users.
