Patent ID: 8457936

Claim:
A computing system for simulating a steady state condition for a variable in a system, the computing system comprising: a processor comprising a controller; and memory coupled to the processor and configured to store: a model of the system, the model configured to generate one or more corrected values representing first system outputs of the model based on a plurality of fixed inputs representing known variables for the model; a first prediction module, the first prediction module configured to receive the one or more corrected values and to generate an open loop prediction of an initial condition for the variable based on the received one or more corrected values; and a second prediction module, the second prediction module configured to receive the open loop prediction of the initial condition for the variable and to generate a closed loop prediction simulating the steady state initial condition for the variable by the controller based on the received open loop prediction, at least one second system output of the model, and at least some of the plurality of fixed inputs; wherein the model further configured to receive the closed loop prediction from the controller of the second prediction module, to receive the at least some of the plurality of fixed inputs, and to generate the at least one second system output of the model.
