This paper reviews the problems associated to the presence of gross errors in data reconciliation problems as well as the main approaches to avoid their undesirable effects: detection and removal of the faulty measurements and minimization of their effect on the reconciled results by using robust estimators that modify the cost function. In the first case, Principal Component Analysis is used to detect the gross errors while, in the second, the Fair function is used. A combined approach is also presented that improves the PCA results. The methods are evaluated in a realistic large-scale problem with plant data corresponding to the hydrogen network of a petrol refinery.

Optimal process operation is not always guaranteed due to the presence of significant uncertainty about the plant models that are used to make decisions, for example in Real time optimization, and also due to the differences between control architecture layers which operate on different time-scales and use different kind of models. Modifier adaptation is a methodology that achieves optimality despite the presence of uncertainty by using plant measurements. This paper presents the Nested modifier-adaptation methodology applied to the operation of distillation columns and the results obtained are compared with the previous modifier adaptation methodology using dual control optimization.

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 work studies input-output stability of time-delay reset controlsystems, with first order reset elements (FORE). The results are derived by using integral quadratic constraint (IQC) framework. A new delay-dependent stability criterion is formulated in the form of a linear matrix inequalities (LMI) condition, using Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma. A numerical example is given, which illustrates the effectiveness of the new criterion.
