ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RISK BASED VERIFICATION PROTOCOL FOR PROCESS MODELLING AND SIMULATION

A risk based procedure for verification of process modelling and simulation (PMS) is presented. The procedure is based on Det Norske Veritas offshore service specification for risk based verification, state-of-the-art methodologies within simulation verification, validation & accreditation, and recognized methods for PMS. The motivation for developing the procedure is the increasing challenges posed by the growing energy demand and climate change which creates an accelerating need for new energy technologies. The procedure is therefore directed towards physical and chemical processes and application with new emerging energy technologies, such as CO2 capture and CO2 conversion. Based upon various levels for verification involvement, the procedure describes how to verify subsequent steps in a proposed generalized framework for PMS.
