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.

A dynamic reduced model of an industrial diesel hydrodesulfurization plant has been developed and validated against plant data. Its purpose is the prediction of the rate of hydrogen consumption, as well as some other critical variables, as a function of the hydrocarbon feed, so as to be integrated in a decision support system aimed at the operation optimization in real time of the refinery hydrogen network. A model which combines first physical-chemical principles with black box elements is proposed. Model structure and calibration procedure are described, and validation results are presented.

This paper presents a NMPC of a supermarket refrigeration system. This is a hybrid process involving switched nonlinear dynamics and discrete events, on/off manipulated variables (valves and compressors), continuous controlled variables (goods temperatures) and finally, several operation constraints. The hybrid controller is based on a parameterization of the on/off control signals in terms of time of occurrence of events instead of using directly binary values, in this way, we can re-formulate the optimization problem as a NLP problem. Results of the hybrid controller operation are given.
