چکیده

We consider batch process optimization and robust implementation of optimal control policies. The dynamic optimization of such processes is in most cases model based, and therefore subject to uncertainties. This may lead to sub-optimal control trajectories with significant economical losses. In this paper we extended the concept of self-optimizing control for the optimal operation of transient processes. The main idea is to find a function of the measurements whose trajectory is optimally invariant to disturbances, and then track the trajectory using standard feedback controllers. Doing so results in near-optimal economic operation in spite of varying disturbances without the need for re-optimization. We show that the invariant trajectories can be computed as linear combinations of the measurement vector, where the combination matrix is easily obtained from optimal sensitivities. We illustrate the application of the proposed method in a semi-batch reactor case study.

A New Method of Mobile Robot Navigation: Shortest Null Space

In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...

A Distributed Control Architecture for Autonomous Operation of a Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid System

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...

The null space method for selecting optimal measurement combinations as controlled variables

The issue in this paper is to select the controlled variables c as combinations of the measurements y. The objective is to obtain self-optimizing control, which is when we can achieve near-optimal steady-state operation with constant setpoints for the controlled variables, without the need to re-optimize when new disturbances perturb the plant. For sufficiently small disturbances, the null spac...
