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 ...

Dry-Season Greening and Water Stress in Amazonia: The Role of Modeling Leaf Phenology

Gabriele Manoli

Large uncertainties on the sensitivity of Amazon forests to drought exist. Even though water stress should suppress photosynthesis and enhance tree mortality, a green-up has been often observed during the dry season. This interplay between climatic forcing ...

On enforcing the necessary conditions of optimality under plant-model mismatch - What to measure and what to adapt?

Martand Singhal

Industrial processes are run with the aim of maximizing economic profit while simultaneously meeting process-critical constraints. To this end, model-based optimization can be performed to ensure optimal plant operations. Usually, inevitable model inaccura ...

Enforcing Model Adequacy in Real-Time Optimization via Dedicated Parameter Adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Martand Singhal, Afaq Ahmad

Iterative real-time optimization schemes that employ modifier adaptation add bias and gradient correction terms to the model that is used for optimization. These affine corrections lead to meeting the first-order necessary conditions of optimality of the p ...

Improved Directional Derivatives for Modifier-Adaptation Schemes

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Martand Singhal

The modifier-adaptation methodology enables real-time optimization (RTO) of plant operation in the presence of considerable plant-model mismatch. It requires the estimation of plant gradients. Obtaining these gradients is expensive as it involves potential ...

Extension of Modifier Adaptation  for Controlled Plants using Static Open-Loop Models

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Sean Costello

Model-based optimization methods suffer from the limited accuracy of the available process models. Because of plant-model mismatch, model-based optimal inputs may be suboptimal or, worse, unfeasible for the plant. Modifier adaptation (MA) overcomes this ob ...

Impact of nitrogen inputs on multiple facets of plant biodiversity in mountain grasslands: does nutrient source matter?

François Gillet

Questions: What is the impact of nitrogen (N) inputs on the vegetation of mountain permanent grasslands? Beyond the effect of fertilizer quantity (total and available N supply), is there a specific effect of fertilizer quality (the various N sources) on th ...

Optimal Load Sharing of Parallel Compressors via Modifier Adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Predrag Milosavljevic

We discuss optimal load sharing of parallel gas compressors in the presence of plant-model mismatch. We formulate this problem as a static real-time optimization task and propose to tackle it by means of modifier adaptation. Under mild assumptions, the cho ...

Experimental warming interacts with soil moisture to discriminate plant responses in an ombrotrophic peatland

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Edward Mitchell, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Cédric Pochelon

QuestionA better understanding of the response of Sphagnum mosses and associated vascular plants to climate warming is relevant for predicting the carbon balance of peatlands in a warmer world. Open-top chambers (OTCs) have been used to investigate the eff ...

Real-Time Optimization via Directional Modifier Adaptation, with Application to Kite Control

Sean Costello

The steady advance of computational methods makes model-based optimization an increasingly attractive method for process improvement. Unfortunately, the available models are often inaccurate. The traditional remedy is to update the model parameters, but th ...
