Moonshots: How Engineers and Scientists Are Achieving the Impossible

Dr. Arun Mulpur, MathWorks

Tue, May 9 | 10:30 pm - 11:00 pm (CDT)

10:30 pm - 11:00 pm (CDT)

Plenary

Moonshots—projects with lofty and seemingly impossible goals—are the engines that drive innovation, increase human knowledge, and improve our standard of living. Over 50 years ago, NASA's Apollo program landed the first people on the moon, accomplishing a literal moonshot and fostering emerging technologies that are now ubiquitous, such as integrated circuits, photovoltaic cells, and digital image processing. Today, engineers and scientists are aiming to generate unlimited clean energy, create advanced medical devices to save and improve lives, travel to Mars, and explore the universe. In this talk, learn about some of these visionary projects, the role MATLAB^® and Simulink^® played in helping engineers and scientists achieve their goals, and how you can apply these same tools and techniques to your own "moonshots."

How Siemens Energy Enables the Global Energy Transition

Jens Dietrich, Siemens Energy AG

Tue, May 9 | 11:00 pm - 11:30 pm (CDT)

11:00 pm - 11:30 pm (CDT)

Plenary

The transition to carbon-neutral energy production is one of the cornerstones for limiting global warming. Recent discussions about energy transition have focused on the "energy trilemma"—the need to find the right balance between affordability, reliability, and sustainability of energy.

Part of the solution is to strengthen the power grid for highly fluctuating distributed generation and feed-in from renewable energy sources. Siemens Energy is accomplishing this with solutions such as HVDC (high-voltage direct current transmission) and FACTS (flexible AC transmission).

The power grid of the future relies on power electronics and their control software. Therefore, the energy transition is also driven by software development. For this purpose, it is elementary to understand the grid as well as possible and to test the software thoroughly.

Working closely with MathWorks as a technology partner, Siemens Energy's Grid Solutions Control and Protection Department has extended Model-Based Design to study, develop, and verify complex power transmission systems. Simulating the plant on a desktop PC helps to "push left" in the v-model development cycle to test system behavior as early as possible with the same control software that is later deployed on hardware. This enables the development of a digital twin to analyze and understand fault scenarios and incorporate final system validation for the end customer with MathWorks products.

Leveraging this approach as an end-to-end development ecosystem helps in all phases of project execution—be it bidding, engineering, or system studies. Modern cloud-based CI/CD workflows extend this ecosystem to automate test and code generation and make it even more accessible to all engineers.

Using a model-based engineering ecosystem helps Siemens Energy provide answers and solutions to our customers and support them on their journey to clean and available energy for all.

Jens Dietrich leads the development of control platforms for HVDC and FACTS applications at Siemens Energy, Germany. Previously, he worked as development manager, product owner, and developer for various control and simulation applications in power transmission. His group is responsible for the development, continuous improvement, and targeted use of a MATLAB and Simulink based software ecosystem for the delivery of customized control systems for HVDC and FACTS applications at Siemens Energy. Jens leads a team of passionate experts who love to bring state-of-the-art software development techniques to the model-driven world. He holds an M.Sc. and B.Sc. from RWTH Aachen University in electrical and computer engineering with a focus on power systems and control simulation.

Reduced Order Modeling with AI: Accelerating Simulink Analysis and Design

Kishen Mahadevan, MathWorks Terri Xiao, MathWorks

Tue, May 9 | 11:30 pm - 12:00 am (CDT)

11:30 pm - 12:00 am (CDT)

AI

With Model-Based Design, you use virtual models to design, implement, and deliver complex systems. Creating high-fidelity virtual models that accurately capture hardware behavior is valuable and can be time consuming. However, these high-fidelity models are not suitable for all stages of the development process. For example, a computational fluid dynamics model that is useful for detailed component design will be too slow to include in system-level simulations to verify your control system or to perform system analysis that requires many simulation runs. A high-fidelity model for analyzing NOx emissions will be too slow to run in real time in your embedded system. Does this mean you have to start from scratch to create faster approximations of your high-fidelity models? This is where reduced order modeling (ROM) comes to help. ROM is a set of automated computational techniques that helps you reuse your high-fidelity models for creating faster-running, lower-fidelity approximations.

In this talk, learn about different ROM techniques and methods, covering AI-based approaches, linear-parameter varying (LPV) modeling, and strategies for bringing large-scale sparse state-space matrices from FEA tools into MATLAB^® and Simulink^® for applications such as flexible body modeling and control. The focus of the talk, however, will be on AI-based ROM. See how you can perform a thorough design of experiments and use the resulting data to train AI models using LSTM, neural ODE, and nonlinear ARX algorithms. Learn how to integrate these AI models into your Simulink simulations, whether for hardware-in-the-loop testing or deployment to embedded systems for virtual sensor applications. Learn about the pros and cons of different ROM approaches to help you choose the best one for your next project.

Wed, May 10 | 12:00 am - 12:30 am (CDT)

12:00 am - 12:30 am (CDT)

Electrification

In early vehicle design stages, engineers need to make decisions about battery pack sizing. This often involves trade-offs between competing objectives such as EV range and cost, making it difficult to select an optimal design. It requires significant time and modeling expertise to build the closed-loop system-level models needed to evaluate potential designs.

In this talk, we present an accessible workflow to address these pains. We demonstrate how to create a system-level electric vehicle model using the Virtual Vehicle Composer app from Powertrain Blockset™. The model will be used to iteratively evaluate the vehicle’s performance using optimization techniques. The results of this study can then be used in Simscape Battery™ to generate an appropriate battery pack design and evaluate the pack behavior in more detail. This battery model is then integrated back into the system level model for verification against the requirements.

This approach provides a rigorous numerical method to quantify trade-offs in the design problem. It also simplifies the process of model building, both at the system level and battery subsystem level. Domain experts who may not be tool experts can now take advantage of these powerful design workflows.

Modeling, Simulation, and Implementation

Systems engineers typically capture requirements using text that can be incomplete and inconsistent, resulting in errors that become exponentially more expensive to fix over time. By formalizing requirements using the Requirements Table block, you can define the expected behavior and analyze the requirements for completeness and consistency before you even begin your design. Furthermore, since the model is independent of the design model, you can generate requirements-based tests from your modeled requirements and verify if your design is meeting those requirements without needing to manually write thousands of test cases.

Electrification

With more and more electric vehicles connecting to the power grid every day, there are concerns that existing grid infrastructure will be strained beyond acceptable operational limits. We can address these concerns by bringing operations, pricing, and forecasting into techno-economic models of power systems. Using these models, we can assess feasibility, risk, optimal operations, and profitability of charging infrastructure. These models provide key insights such as expected system performance over time, identification of factors that lead to bad outcomes, and right-sizing of components through optimization studies.

In this talk, we consider a scenario where a system operator can command individual electric vehicle battery units to both store and supply electricity while connected to the grid. The operator applies techno-economic optimization to the charging profiles to minimize electricity cost while accounting for system requirements and constraints, such as limits on state of charge, grid supply, and charge/discharge rate. The optimization provides a fast and automated approach for leveraging all of the units connected to the grid for overall system benefit. Charging profiles are then assessed for the impact on voltage and power flow levels using a grid-level simulation.

Wed, May 10 | 12:30 am - 1:00 am (CDT)

12:30 am - 1:00 am (CDT)

Algorithm Development and Data Analysis

Simulation-based product development requires efficient engine models that can not only predict engine performance and emissions accurately but also produce results at real-time computing speeds. These models are used to predict in a closed-loop system-level environment integrated with controls and other components. 0D/1D physics-based software can model engine performance with good accuracy, but these models cannot be deployed in a closed-loop environment with controls and other components because they have a significantly higher runtime—about 20 to 40 times slower than real time. Investigation was done to find a low-fidelity model or algorithm with similar performance that could replace high-fidelity physics-based models in the simulation domain and can be deployed in a system level environment. The robustness of AI models’ ability to learn from the data encouraged Cummins to try several machine learning models. A detailed approach was taken to build LSTM-based deep neural network models that achieved target model accuracy with a runtime of about one-eighth that of real time. Cummins developed a total of 26 models using MATLAB^® to predict 26 different responses of the engine which consist of temperature, pressure, and flows across multiple locations of the engine along with emissions, efficiencies, and engine brake torque. In the process of building these deep learning models, multiple techniques were evaluated such as defining an optimal deep neural network structure consisting of the type and number of layers, using different activation functions, and optimizing associated hyperparameters. In future, the process of building these models will be automated, and the use of MATLAB to train the models in parallel will be a significant advantage. As these models meet all the requirements, future work would be done to integrate these models in the pure simulation domain, followed by integration with actual hardware and control.
