Scheduling of a mixed batch/continuous sugar milling plant using Petri nets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Scheduling of processes in mixed batch/continuous plants, due to their hybrid nature can become very complex. This paper presents the Timed Hybrid Petri net (THPN) as a suitable tool for modelling and scheduling of hybrid systems. One of the major benefits over traditional methods is a significant reduction in complexity during problem formulation. A sugar milling plant containing both batch and continuous processing units is considered as a case study by which the application of the proposed scheduling algorithm is illustrated.

Development of Hybrid Time Petri Nets for Scheduling and Control of Mixed Batch-continuous Processes
The scheduling of mixed batch/continuous process plants is difficult since the model and solution have to deal with both discrete and continuous operations. Motivated by the need for the effective scheduling and control of operations in sugar milling, a new type of hybrid Petri nets called Hybrid Time Petri Nets(HTPN) is proposed, which allows the formulation of variable cycle time and variable...
متن کاملModelling and Analysis of a Batch Plant Using Petri Nets
Petri nets have widely been applied in different aspect of modelling, qualitative, quantitative analysis, supervisory and coordinate control, scheduling, planning, and hybrid system design of batch processes. The paper presents an example which shows how to use Petri nets to model and analysis a realistic batch plant. The modular modelling method is adopted to model a real batch processing plan...
متن کاملModeling of Continuous Systems Using Modified Petri Nets
Due to the changes which may occur in their parameters, systems are usually demonstrated by some subsystems for different conditions. This paper employs Modified Petri Nets (MPN) to model theses subsystems and makes it simple to analyze them. In this method, first, the continuous transfer function is converted to a discrete transfer function and then, by MPN, system is modeled and analyzed. All...

متن کاملAn extension of high-level Petri nets for modelling batch systems
This paper deals with the modelling of batch systems by means of high-level Petri nets. Batch systems are systems that transform a continuous raw material through continuous equipment (as heat exchanger for example) and batch equipment (for instance, batch reactor). These systems are frequently used by chemical of food industry. Batch systems deal with concurrent activities and resource allocat...
