Combined Estimation and Optimal Control of Batch Membrane Processes

چکیده
In this paper, we deal with the model-based time-optimal operation of a batch diafiltration process in the presence of membrane fouling. Membrane fouling poses one of the major problems in the field of membrane processes. We model the fouling behavior and estimate its parameters using various methods. Least-squares, least-squares with a moving horizon, recursive least-squares methods and the extended Kalman filter are applied and discussed for the estimation of the fouling behavior on-line during the process run. Model-based optimal non-linear control coupled with parameter estimation is applied in a simulation case study to show the benefits of the proposed approach.

Confidence Interval Estimation of the Mean of Stationary Stochastic Processes: a Comparison of Batch Means and Weighted Batch Means Approach (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...
متن کاملUncertainties in Parameter Estimation & Optimal Control in Batch Distillation
Optimal control problems in batch distillation involve finding a trajectory for the reflux ratio so as to maximize a performance index. Then the controller is asked to follow this trajectory in an open loop fashion. It is important to minimize the effect of uncertainties in thermodynamic models on the optimal control profiles to achieve a better operating performance. The nonlinear parameter es...
متن کاملIntegrating Iterative Learning Estimation with Optimal Control for Batch Productivity Enhancement
Optimal control has wide applications for the control of batch and semi-batch processes to develop an optimum control input policy by extremizing a performance measure. The deployment of optimal control relies heavily on the accuracy of the process models being used for computation of the optimal profile. Often, the process models do not replicate the plants due to various shortcomings such as ...
متن کاملSolving Multi-objective Optimal Control Problems of chemical processes using Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm
Evolutionary algorithms have been recognized to be suitable for extracting approximate solutions of multi-objective problems because of their capability to evolve a set of non-dominated solutions distributed along the Pareto frontier. This paper applies an evolutionary optimization scheme, inspired by Multi-objective Invasive Weed Optimization (MOIWO) and Non-dominated Sorting (NS) strategi...
متن کاملRobust Nonlinear Model Predictive Control of Batch Processes
NMPC explicitly addresses constraints and nonlinearities during the feedback control of batch processes. This NMPC algorithm also explicitly takes parameter uncertainty into account in the state estimation and state feedback controller designs. An extended Kalman filter estimates the process noise co®ariance matrix from the parameter uncertainty description and employs a sequential integration ...
