Chapter 2: OTS Benefits and Best Use
As you saw in the previous chapter, there are many types of OTSs. The benefits are totally dependent on the type of OTS that you are using. In a generic-type simulator, you don't expect to benefit from controller tuning, for example, or operating procedures testing.
You can only tune the controllers if the process model is of a fidelity that represents the process in a way that reflects the process dynamics. Add to that the fact that the control emulation has to be faithfully translated and will need to be an exact representation of the real system. So, you can clearly understand how the benefits of an OTS increase as the cost and time of a build go up, which is further presented in Figure 2.1.
