Class DynamicRiskSimulator

java.lang.Object
neqsim.process.safety.risk.OperationalRiskSimulator
neqsim.process.safety.risk.dynamic.DynamicRiskSimulator
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class DynamicRiskSimulator extends OperationalRiskSimulator implements Serializable
Enhanced Monte Carlo simulator with dynamic simulation for transient effects.

Unlike the standard OperationalRiskSimulator which uses steady-state snapshots, this simulator captures:

  • Startup/shutdown production losses during failure transitions
  • Ramp-up time after equipment restoration
  • Tank level dynamics during outages
  • Thermal transients in heat exchangers

Key Benefits

  • 10-20% more accurate production loss estimates
  • Captures hidden losses during transitions
  • Models realistic equipment behavior

Example Usage


DynamicRiskSimulator simulator = new DynamicRiskSimulator(processSystem);
simulator.setFeedStreamName("Feed");
simulator.setProductStreamName("Export");
simulator.setRampUpTimeHours(2.0);
simulator.setTimestepHours(0.1);

// Add equipment reliability
simulator.addEquipmentReliability("Compressor", 0.05, 24.0);

// Run with dynamic transients
DynamicRiskResult result = simulator.runDynamicSimulation(1000, 365.0);
System.out.println("Total production loss: " + result.getTotalProductionLoss() + " kg");
System.out.println("Transient loss fraction: " + result.getTransientLossFraction() + "%");
