Integration of Economical Optimization and Control for Intentionally Transient Process Operation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences ((LNCIS,volume 358))

Abstract

This paper summarizes recent developments and applications of dynamic real-time optimization (D-RTO). A decomposition strategy is presented to separate economical and control objectives by formulating two subproblems in closed-loop. Two approaches (model-based and model-free at the implementation level) are developed to provide tight integration of economical optimization and control, and to handle uncertainty. Simulated industrial applications involving different dynamic operational scenarios demonstrate significant economical benefits.
