Riassunto

This book presents a comprehensive optimization based theory and framework that exploits the synergistic interactions and tradeoffs between process design and operational decisions that span different time scales. The authors explain how conventional methods in the process industry often isolate decision making mechanisms with a hierarchical information flow to achieve tractable problems, risking suboptimal, even infeasible operations. This book details the foundations of systematic model based strategies for simultaneous process design, scheduling, and control optimization to achieve reduced cost and improved energy consumption in process systems. The authors approach the following questions: When does the need for such an integration of scales arise? Which types of industrially relevant problems and applications can be considered for such an approach? Where do we stand regarding methodological developments and solution strategies as enablers and tools for such an integration? If desired, what would be the ideal framework and potentially the target software platform for achieving such a unification? This Second Edition includes developments in methodological approaches and software platform unification, as well as discussion on the need for integration.

Informazioni sull?autore

Baris Burnak, Ph.D., is a Research Scientist with the Network Team at Amazon. He works on optimizing the topology of one of the largest supply chain networks in the U.S. Dr. Burnak received his Ph.D. from the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University. He earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Bogazici University, Turkey. Before his career as an operations researcher, he practiced chemical engineering at Phillips 66, where he improved efficiency of midstream and downstream oil and gas operations with his expertise in modeling and optimization. He has co-authored 15 peer reviewed journal articles and six conference proceedings in the field of process systems engineering.

Nikolaos A. Diangelakis, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Crete. He holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc. from Imperial College London. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the National Technical University of Athens. His research interests are on the area of optimal receding horizon strategies, non-linear, data-based and robust optimization. More specifically, his research focuses on the development of control and scheduling policies of chemical and energy processes while simultaneously optimizing their design. He is the co-author of 21 peer reviewed articles, 16 conference papers, three book chapters, and two books.

This book presents a comprehensive optimization based theory and framework that exploits the synergistic interactions and tradeoffs between process design and operational decisions that span different time scales. The authors explain how conventional methods in the process industry often isolate decision making mechanisms with a hierarchical information flow to achieve tractable problems, risking suboptimal, even infeasible operations. This book details the foundations of systematic model based strategies for simultaneous process design, scheduling, and control optimization to achieve reduced cost and improved energy consumption in process systems.

Which types of industrially relevant problems and applications can be considered for such an approach? Where do we stand regarding methodological developments and solution strategies as enablers and tools for such an integration? If desired, what would be the ideal framework and potentially the target software platform for achieving such a unification? This Second Edition includes developments in methodological approaches and software platform unification, as well as discussion on the need for integration.

In addition, this book:

• Includes historical perspective and a literature review on simultaneous design, control, and scheduling optimization
• Provides analysis, insights, and a plethora of solution strategies toward process design and operational integration
• Discusses the topic in a manner appropriate for industrial practitioners, academics and researchers
