This paper deals with the problem of optimizing the performance of a process using Real Time Optimization (RTO) considering the unavoidable errors in the process models. It implements a new architecture within the modifier-adaptation methodology, presenting a nested optimization problem with two layers. With this methodology, it is possible to find a point that satisfies the KKT conditions of a process using an inaccurate model in the optimization, without the need to estimate directly the experimental gradients of the process. The suggested methodology has been tested in a continuous bioreactor example that present a washout closer to the real optimum of the simulated process. The results show that the proposed methodology is able to find the optimum of the process smoothly, avoiding unstable operating points.

In this paper, a coordination control algorithm based on hierarchical scheme is presented to coordinate several non-linear model predictive controllers (NMPC) working in parallel, with an upper layer, where a price-driven coordination technique is used to drive the controllers in such a way that some global constraints are satisfied. To coordinate the lower layers, it is used a price-adjustment algorithm based on Newton's method, in which a reformulation of Fiacco's work is used in order to obtain the sensitivity analysis for a nonlinear system no matter the set of active constraints. The efficiency of the scheme is evaluated using a simulation of a four-tank benchmark.

This paper deals with the problem of uncertainty management in real time optimization (RTO). It proposes a new architecture in the modifier-adaptation methodology, reformulating the algorithm as a nested optimization problem with two layers. Using this approach, it is possible to find a point that satisfies the KKT conditions of a process using an inaccurate model, but unlike the original modifier method, with no need to estimate the experimental gradients of the process. The proposed method has been tested in the Otto Williams Reactor considering structural mismatches and perfect and noisy measurements. The results are compared with the previous modifier adaptation methodology using dual control optimization showing that the method finds a KKT point of the process with the advantage that no experimental gradient information is required and with less sensitivity to process noise.

This paper describes an approach to optimal management of hydrogen networks in refineries, focusing on the problems of reconfiguration that appears when, due to plant failures, the production of the hydrogen generating units suddenly decreases. The problem is formulated in terms of optimization as a MINLP one. Also, guidelines to the implementation of the optimum are presented with the aim of providing a practical solution to the inherent uncertainly and changing dynamics associated to the process.

Abstract This work investigates the topic of solving Bilinear Matrix Inequalities (BMIs) problems in the optimal control design field, using successive resolutions of properly defined Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). This technique can be described as an ‘LMI-based coordinate descent method'. Indeed the original (BMI) problem is solved independently for each coordinate at each step using a LMI optimization, while the other coordinate is fixed. No method based on this idea has been formally proved to converge to the global optimum of the BMI problem, or a local optimum in general. This will be discussed using relevant results both from the mathematical programming and control design points of view. This discussion supports the algorithm proposed here which, thanks to a particular change of variables, leads to sequences of improving solutions. Also emphasized is a second improvement important to avoid in practice early convergence to suboptimal solutions instead of local optima. The control framework used is that of optimal output feedback design for linear time invariant (LTI) systems. An example using a random plant is drawn to illustrate the typical effectiveness of the algorithm.

An approach to assist the determination of the best time-after-injection for taking an scintigram in bone scanning is proposed. More precisely, a technique is discussed to estimate the evolution of the portions, in different compartments of the body, of the injected dose using a model of the radionuclide distribution dynamics, the available measurements and information on variations of the parameters. At each time, the possible range of variation of these unmeasured states is evaluated, and from this the expected evolution of the contrast of the image is obtained. This makes it possible to predict the best time for taking the image. To show the applicability, a practical example is provided.
