An algorithm for integration of design, control, and scheduling is proposed. Variable transition times are considered using flexible finite elements. The proposed algorithm provides a robust solution, superior to the sequential method. Interactions between design, control, and scheduling are shown to be significant. Multi-product CSTR case study shows the benefits of the algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
