Reduce project costs, accelerate time to value, and gain operational confidence with the most trusted name in turbomachinery control.
CCC’s Turbomachinery Dynamic Simulation Studies enable high-fidelity modeling, early risk detection, and real-time control validation, even before your system is live. Whether you're commissioning a new plant or optimizing an existing asset, our integrated approach accelerates deployment and minimizes costly surprises.
Key Benefits Across Project Phases
Dynamic simulations are essential across project phases to enhance efficiency, minimize costs, and enable informed decision-making that improves design integrity and operational performance. These advanced simulation techniques play a critical role from Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) through ongoing operations by addressing potential challenges and optimizing processes. The result is successful project delivery and optimal operational readiness through comprehensive simulation-driven insights.
- EPC phase – Size valves and define instrument ranges using dynamic simulation to eliminate costly, late-stage surprises
- Commissioning – Virtually test and fine-tune control logic ahead of deployment to minimize startup risks, reduce on-site tuning time, and accelerate commissioning.
- Operation – Leverage validated models for hands-on operator training, real-time troubleshooting, and ongoing performance optimization

Integrated Simulation Services
Turbomachinery Dynamic Simulation Studies combine high-fidelity process modeling with real control system emulation to help teams test, tune, and validate turbomachinery control strategies before commissioning. Here’s how it works:
- Scope definition and data collection – Establish study objectives, define scenarios, and gather essential process, equipment, and operational data.
- Model development – Build and validate high-fidelity dynamic models in UniSim®, including integration with the CCC Emulator for real control logic testing.
- Control system pre-tuning – Fine-tune control strategies in a virtual environment for faster, smoother plant startup.
- Simulation planning – Document simulation run procedures based on proposed design and intended objectives of the study
- Simulation execution – Execute simulation runs for the defined range of operating and emergency scenarios
- Comprehensive deliverables – Receive detailed reports, configuration backups, and simulation artifacts to support engineering and commissioning.
- Seamless control deployment – Transfer pre-validated control parameters directly to the final system to reduce commissioning effort.
- Engineering design support – Access expert consulting for validation of piping, instrumentation, and mechanical equipment design.
This integrated approach enables better design decisions, early issue detection, and confident deployment, helping teams accelerate startup, reduce project costs, and ensure reliable long-term operation.
