Multilevel Flow Modeling (MFM) for Resilient and Safe Energy Systems

Complex energy systems fail when we lose functional understanding.

This presentation introduces Multilevel Flow Modeling (MFM) as a way to reason about energy systems based on functions, not components. By modelling goals, flows and constraints, MFM supports diagnosis, safety analysis and decision support.

Engineers will appreciate the practicality: MFM turns abstract system behaviour into structured reasoning that can be used in real operations.

From alarms to abnormal situations, this is about restoring meaning to system data.

Highly relevant for anyone working with energy, automation or model‑based control.
