چکیده

We present the open-source software framework in JModelica.org for numerically solving large-scale dynamic optimization problems. The framework solves problems whose dynamic systems are described in Modelica, an open modeling language supported by several different tools. The framework implements a numerical method based on direct local collocation, of which the details are presented. The implementation uses the open-source third-party software package CasADi to construct the nonlinear program in order to efficiently obtain derivative information using algorithmic differentiation. The framework is interfaced with the numerical optimizers IPOPT and WORHP for finding local optima of the optimization problem after discretization. We provide an illustrative example based on the Van der Pol oscillator of how the framework is used. We also present results for an industrially relevant problem regarding optimal control of a distillation column.

Modelica Based Grade Change Optimization for a Polyethylene Reactor

This paper presents a dynamic optimization procedure of grade changes of polyethylene production. The optimization is built upon a novel modular Modelica library containing e.g., non-linear DAE models for polyethylene reactors based on models currently used in nonlinear MPC of industrial reactors at Borealis AB. Using Optimica, which extends the Modelica language with constructs for optimizatio...

Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Combined Cycle Power Plants

This master thesis project serves to investigate the possibilities of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) using the example of enthalpy control of the BENSON HRSG (heat recovery steam generator) of a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). The general idea of NMPC is to solve an optimization problem, to find the next control action, and this optimization problem is based on a model of the syst...

Object-Oriented Modeling and Optimal Control: A Case Study in Power Plant Start-Up

Modeling and optimization of complex systems traditionally have required significant programming efforts in order to encode the model dynamics, the cost functions and the constraints in a format suitable for state of the art numerical algorithms. The availability of dedicated languages for physical modeling has made the design process simpler, but often tools have been limited to a particular o...
