Course description
This course involves the application of optimization and advanced control to identify potential improvements of industrial processes. Fundamental principles of formulating and solving optimization problems are introduced, along with critical interpretation of results and practical considerations in implementation of optimization output. The principles of Advanced Process Control are introduced and applied to industrial applications. Emphasis is on applying advanced control structures (e.g., equation-based control, etc.) to optimise existing processes. Students will be able to model the benefits of proposed control structures to justify their use in complex unit operations. Part of the justification will involve consideration of hardware and cost factors in implementing various control structures.
