After a development time of more than 42 months and over 20 men years of work invested, TLK-Thermo GmbH, TU Hamburg-Harburg and XRG Simulation GmbH proudly announce the successful release of the world's most comprehensive Modelica library for conventional power plant simulation. The new ClaRa (Clausius Rankine) library can be downloaded for free from www.claralib.com. Currently, the only Modelica simulation software supported is Dymola. The development of the software was funded by Germany's Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy on the basis of a decision by the German Bundestag.

Significant changes in world's energy markets come with new challenges for existing and new power plant projects. Conventional disposable units have to be more flexible to balance fluctuations from the renewables. ClaRa is used for real life applications and provides tailored modelling with various level of detail. Please contact us for more information: T +49(0)40-766292630 or info@xrg-simulation.de.
