2017 CHALLENGE WORKSHOP
Challenges for Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization for Advanced Process Control of Batch Processes
The 11th Challenge Workshop focused on improve and integrate process control solutions for applications across various industries, and to foster synergies and collaborations. It took place at the Mathematikon of the IWR on February 9-10, 2017.
Challenges
Batch processes are an important way of manufacturing chemicals. They are particularly important for the production of specialty chemicals due to their flexibility, simplicity and low investment costs.
This workshop treats opportunities and challenges to improve the operation of batch processes in the framework of Real Time Optimization and of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control. This includes newly developed models of reaction kinetics, new sensors and new fast mathematical optimization methods for process operation. The effects of model-based optimizing control are demonstrated by presenting problems from several application areas, e.g. polymerization processes.
