Engineering efforts to handle contemporary energy supply challenges and mitigate pollutant emission lead towards more complicated systems. Power plants are supplementing with additional processing units, alternative production modes and higher level of automation. Wind and solar sources, biomass combustion, gasification, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and cogeneration have appeared as important players in the energy systems. The increasing complexity comprises a risk that the systems become less manageable and less stable than currently. Traditional steady-state engineering methods cannot fully address these challenges that are inherently dynamic in their nature. Dynamic process simulation appears as important tool to the systems design and optimisation tasks. A large variety of dynamic process modelling and simulation approaches has been presented recent years. This paper presents a brief review of methods and simulation packages that are generally applied for studying energy systems' transient behaviour. A CCS capable power plant is presented as an example of utilizing dynamic process simulation for virtual evaluation of a novel electricity production concept. The modelling was performed using two simulators Apros and Aspen Plus Dynamics, which were linked together for dynamic simulating the full chain of cryogenic oxygen distillation, oxy combustion, turbine islands and carbon dioxide purification and liquefaction operations.
