Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a nonlinear multistage system to model fed-batch fermentation process. Compared with existing systems, the proposed system is much closer to the actual fermentation process. The optimal control model involving the nonlinear multistage system is then presented. The existence of optimal control is established. Finally, a numerical optimization algorithm to solve the optimal control problem is developed.
