Model-Based Design for Fuel Cell Systems
January 26, 2017
High fidelity multi-domain fuel cell system analysis with model based design Modelon JSME 2016 – Model Based Design for Fuel Cell Systems from Modelon Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are energy efficient sources that generate zero- or low-carbon heat and/or power usually at micro scale. The generated heat/ power is consumed on-site by individuals, small […]
Real-time simulation of twist beam suspension
December 5, 2016
Application of the new flexible beam model in Vehicle Dynamics Library Industrial systems incorporate often components that are by definition and functionality flexible. Think of a twist beam axle in a car, the leaf springs or frames in a truck, the wing on an airplane and so on. In multi body simulation they are usually modeled […]
Advances of zero flow simulation of air conditioning systems using Modelica
November 7, 2016
Increased simulation robustness with systematic heat transfer coefficients analysis Simulating refrigerant loops at (near) zero flow for large vapor compression cycles is challenging due to the fast dynamics in the model under those conditions, which drastically reduce the step size of the solver. This motivated a team from Modelon together with two European automotive partners […]

September 14, 2015
New results from a collaboration between Modelon and Lund University A collaboration between Modelon and Lund University has recently generated two new journal publications. The project concerns the development of generic methods and tools for robust optimal control of high-pressure liquid chromatographic separation processes. The optimization method used in the application is described in the […]
Vattenfall’s Funkquist on connecting dots
September 15, 2014
Jonas Funkquist knows the value of connecting the dots. In his case the dots are the various thermodynamic, mechanical and electrical systems involved in optimizing models and control systems for Vattenfall, a 33,000-employee Swedish power company. Open standards such as Modelica are really good for knowledge transfer, says Funkquist. “You don’t have to start with blank […]
Modelon receives Gazelle award
October 25, 2011
For the second consecutive year, Modelon is proud to receive the Gazelle Company Award from the Swedish business magazine Dagens Industri. The American researcher David Birch invented the term “Gazelles” 20 years ago. He showed that new jobs are created in the small, fast-growing businesses, rather than in major and small companies that decide to […]
