Measurement-based Optimization of Batch Processes: Meeting Terminal Constraints On-line via Trajectory Following

The context of this paper is the use of process measurements to optimize batch processes in the presence of uncertainty. The optimal solution consists of (i) keeping certain path and terminal constraints active and (ii) driving the sensitivities to zero. I ...

Measurement-based optimization of batch processes with terminal constraint

Carsten Welz

This thesis deals with dynamic optimization of batch processes, i.e. processes that are characterized by a finite time of operation and the frequent repetition of batches. The objective is to maximize the quantity of the desired product at final time while ...

Evaluation of Input Parameterization for Batch Process Optimization

Dominique Bonvin, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Carsten Welz

For the optimization of dynamic systems, it is customary to use measurements to combat the effect of uncertainty. In this context, an approach that consists of tracking the necessary conditions of optimality is gaining in popularity. The approach relies st ...
