Abstract

En 中文
Given their increasing participation in fast-changing markets, the integration of scheduling and control is an important consideration in chemical process operations. This generally involves computing optimal production schedules using dynamic models, which is challenging due to the nonlinearity and high-dimensionality of the models of chemical processes. In this paper, we begin by observing that the intrinsic dimensionality of process dynamics (as relevant to scheduling) is often much lower than the number of model state and/or algebraic variables. We introduce a data mining approach to learn closed-loop process dynamics on a low-dimensional, latent manifold. The manifold dimensionality is selected based on a tradeoff between model accuracy and complexity. After projecting process data, system identification and optimal scheduling calculations can be performed in the low-dimensional, latent-variable space. We apply these concepts to schedule an air separation unit under time-varying electricity prices. We show that our approach reduces the computational effort, while offering more detailed dynamic information compared to previous related works.
