Robust resource targeting in continuous and batch process

Water is considered a significant resource in process industries. It essential for planners to target and optimize the use of water as an external industrial operations. Such optimization problems account uncertainties related internal resources must be handled provide solutions real plants relevance. In this paper, these parametric are addressed, while targeting continuous flexible schedule batch process. The proposed robust counterpart formulations include minimization constraints processes satisfy demand. Three different methodologies adapted extended handle associated with resources. Assuming bounded known uncertainty, resultant then implemented literature examples, results compared deterministic formulation. show that formulation by Bertsimas Sim most appropriate model defined problem because it preserves linearity provides mechanism control degree conservatism, guaranteeing feasibility. also explained using illustrative examples estimating additional 4.04% 11% requirement process, respectively, uncertainty risk. This will assist planner decide under uncertain conditions do necessary preparation accordingly, thus, immunes against demands.
