The CEN Workshop on “Mathematical Simulation models for real time, SIMBOTs” was launched to standardize the integration of market equipment into simulation software via open-source, semantic mathematical models known as SIMBOTs. The kick-off meeting was scheduled for 20th May 2026.
This initiative complements the HYCOOL-IT project, aiming to improve energy performance and supervision in IT infrastructures by enabling real-time simulation and reducing integration costs for manufacturers and developers.
The workshop addresseed six key challenges: SIMBOT conceptualization (inputs, outputs, parameters), defining performance curves from public data sheets, generating semantic information for knowledge graphs, implementing library components in legacy software, using SIMBOTs for large models, and applying simulation for real-time operations.
The workshop focused on solving 6 problems:
- SIMBOT conceptualization: input, outputs and parameters for tracking;
- How to define performance curves based on product information (usually public data sheets);
- How to generate the semantic information to add in the knowledge Graph of SIMBOTs:
- How to implement a library component in a legacy simulation software using the semantic information extracted from the knowledge graph;
- How to use in practice the SIMBOTs for big models;
- Practical details and use of simulation for real time.
The resulting Committee Specification for Work (CWA) will focus on the mathematical representation of equipment, with potential to serve as a basis for future European standards.
