Optimal Control of a Continuous Distillation Process under Probabilistic Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
A continuous distillation process with random inflow rate is considered. The aim is to find a control (feed rate, heat supply, reflux rate) which is optimal with respect to energy consumption and which is robust at the same time with respect to the stochastic level constraints in the feed tank. The solution approach is based on the formulation of probabilistic constraints. An overall model including the dynamics of the distillation process and probabilistic constraints under different assumptions on the randomness of inflow is developed and numerical results are presented.

Probabilistic Multi Objective Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Considering Load Uncertainties Using Monte Carlo Simulations
Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) is a multi-variable problem with nonlinear constraints and continuous/discrete decision variables. Due to the stochastic behavior of loads, the ORPD requires a probabilistic mathematical model. In this paper, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used for modeling of load uncertainties in the ORPD problem. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained mul...

Support Vector Regression (SVR) solves regression problems based on the concept of Support Vector Machine (SVM). In this paper, a new model of SVR with probabilistic constraints is proposed that any of output data and bias are considered the random variables with uniform probability functions. Using the new proposed method, the optimal hyperplane regression can be obtained by solving a quadrati...

متن کاملOptimal Controlled Variable Selection with Structural Constraints Using MIQP Formulations
Optimal control structure selection is vital to operate the process plants optimally in the presence of disturbances. In this paper we review the controlled variable selection, c = Hy, where y includes all the measurements. The objective is to find the matrix H such that steady-state operation is optimized while controlled variables cs are kept constant using inputs, when there are disturbances...
