Resumen

The paper describes a dynamic simulator of a scaled sugar factory to use as a reference, or benchmark, to design and test complex systems control strategies. The process is a subset of a general sugar production process that contains both continuous and batch process units and is closely linked to the factory energy consumption and the quality of the produced sugar. The control problem and the indexes to measure the process performance are set up and the simulation scenarios, or study cases, are given. Finally, different ways to use the simulator from the software point of view are outlined.
