Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This proposal requests computer software to enable the previously awarded grants at Edinburgh and Dundee for Optimisation Tools for Integrated Process Engineering Operation.There is an industrial need for reliable and efficient large-scale process optimisation software. The project provides an important tool in the operation and control of industrial processes on both a plant-wide and site-wide basis, which would also aid the design of such processes. Efficient solution of large-scale problems is particularly desirable for on-line applications, where optimisation in real time is used to determine the control of a plant site.Models of integrated planted are composed of unit operations and stream sub models. This structure suggests decomposition into sub-problems which can be solved by standard non linear programming techniques. The overall process is then optimised by a master problem.The hardware will be used both singly and networked to study these results, both in parallel and sequential implementations.
