Assessing plant design with regard to MPC performance

Plant-wide Optimal Control with Decentralized Mpc

Most standard MPC implementations partition the plant into several units and apply MPC individually to these units. It is known that this strategy can lead to sub-optimal plant-wide control performance, especially if the units interact strongly. This paper tackles the problem of achieving optimal control performance in plants with such an MPC structure. A modeling framework, geared for use in M...

A Multi-Objective Fuzzy Approach to Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Design with Regard to Dynamic Pricing

During the last decade, reverse logistics networks received a considerable attention due to economic importance and environmental regulations and customer awareness. Integration of leading and reverse logistics networks during logistical network design is one of the most important factors in supply chain. In this research, an Integer Linear Programming model is presented to design a multi-layer...

MPC++ Performance for Commodity Clustering

In order to verify the viability finer-grained parallel language MPC++, which had originally been developed for Myrinet-specific environments, we performed ports on top of different breeds of MPI, to be executed on two networks of large performance/cost difference, as well as porting NPB 2.3 apps to test ease of expressiveness of parallel programs. Results were positive, (a) the port of the NPB...
