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 […]
