Development of an industrial boiler virtual‐lab for control education using Modelica

The use of the VirtualLabBuilder Modelica library and the Dymola modeling environment facilitates the implementation of virtual‐labs with elaborated user interfaces, and based on large and complex Modelica models. This implementation methodology is applied to develop an industrial boiler virtual‐lab for process control education.
