Real-Time Optimization of Uncertain Process Systems via Modifier Adaptation and Gaussian Processes

Dominique Bonvin, Colin Neil Jones, Timm Faulwasser, Harsh Ambarishkumar Shukla

In the context of static real-time optimization, the use of measurements allows dealing with uncertainty in the form of plant-model mismatch and disturbances. Modifier adaptation (MA) is a measurement-based scheme that uses first-order corrections to the m ...
