Distributed real-time optimization (RTO) enables optimal operation of large-scale process
systems with common resources shared across several clusters. Typically in distributed …

This paper considers the problem of steady-state real-time optimization (RTO) of large-scale
processes with a common constraint for several units, for example, a shared resource. Such …

The efficient real-time plant-wide coordination of petrochemical production sites is a
challenging and yet not fully resolved problem and its solution can substantially improve the …

Multi-reactor semi-batch plants are widespread in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry,
since they can produce more flexibly and depending on the product also more profitably …

This chapter presents a distributed coordinated control algorithm based on a hierarchical
scheme for systems consisting of nonlinear subsystems coupled by input constraints: the …

This paper considers the problem of steady-state optimal resource allocation in an industrial
symbiotic oil production network, or in general, a large-scale oil production system network …

This document is the first report on methods for distributed optimisation of plants with shared
resources. It covers the fundamentals and the state of the art of distributed optimisation for …
