This work presents an approach to optimal operation of a system with shared resources
based on price coordination. The system consists of three consumer units where oxygen is …

This paper deals with the optimal operation of large scale systems composed by local
processes liked by shared resources. A decentralized architecture plus a coordinator, which …

In the process industries, the optimal allocation of shared resources among physically
coupled units or plants is key to an efficient operation of the overall site. If the units or plants …

Many industrial processes are coupled via multiple networks of energy and materials to
achieve a resource and energy efficient production. In many cases however, setting up an …

Site-wide allocation of shared resources among the units of (partially) autonomous plants
can be realized by price-based coordination. In an iterative procedure, a central site …

Site-wide resource allocation among different partially autonomous production plants in the
process industries can be realized by price-based coordination. The individual production …

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 …

Price-based coordination can be used to coordinate (physically coupled) systems-of-
systems (SoS) consisting of competing subsystems that are not willing to share every …

A two-level, partially decentralized control for the optimal resource allocation is considered.
The coordinator has the information which has essential meaning for the whole system …

An optimization approach is proposed to coordinate multi-site multi-product SC networks
taking into account the cooperation between suppliers and production/distribution SCs. For …
