    摘要: Disclosed techniques include control and configuration of software-defined machines. A hardware design for a mechanical system is obtained. The mechanical system includes a plurality of components that includes a liquid piston heat engine. Couplings between the plurality of components are described. A plurality of layers for the mechanical system is defined. The mechanical system that includes the liquid piston heat engine is implemented. The implementation is across the plurality of layers. The implementation is based on the couplings between the plurality of components. The couplings are described using connectivity maps. The implementation is based on construction rules. An application programming interface is used to communicate information on the plurality of layers for the mechanical system. The plurality of layers provides progressive levels of abstraction for the mechanical system.

    摘要: Disclosed techniques include software-defined modular energy system design and operation. A set of energy system plant requirements for a mechanical system is obtained. The mechanical system comprises a plurality of components. The plurality of components includes a liquid piston heat engine. One or more processors are used to optimize a plant description. The plant description is based on the set of energy system plant requirements and a library of components. Processors are used to design a specification for an energy system plant. The specification includes components from the library of components and couplings among the components. An energy system plant design is output based on the specification. The design enables energy system plant construction. The energy system plant design is simulated to enable a reliability analysis and to provide feedback about the plant description. The simulating generates operational controls to enable energy system plant functionality.
