Abstract:There is not a consensus about the benefits of implementing Real‐Time Optimization (RTO) technologies to increase the profit of process plants. A lack of experimental and theoretical works which evaluate the scope and limitations of different RTO approaches makes it more difficult to have a sensible opinion about this topic. Most works available in the open literature that study different RTO approaches use few (often one) operation conditions to draw general conclusions about the virtues of a particular metho… Show more
“…Described steps and the flow that links them are pictured using an Unified Modeling Language (UML) [29] The absence of structural plant-model mismatch is not guaranteed with the use of highfidelity plant model. Incomplete plant information and measurements noise are important sources of uncertainty in the updated parameters, increasing the plant-model mismatch [27]. Under large structural plant-model mismatch and small excitation in the operation conditions, the MPA method cannot guarantee convergence to the true plant optimum [30].…”

“…This methodology integrates the parameter estimation and the optimization steps. ISOPE optimizes a modified economic function, adding a modifier term coming from the parameter estimation step that allows a first-order correction [27]. The idea is to complement the measurements used in the MPA method with plant derivative information whenever it can be calculated accurately.…”

“…The ISOPE method uses the derivatives of output respect to inputs; also, parameters are updated during ISOPE iterations while MA uses a fixed parameters set during optimization. The main limitation for industrial applications of MA is that the scheme needs an accurate plant gradient available in order to calculate the real plant optimum in the presence of plant-model mismatch [27].…”

“…Assumptions like the knowledge of global Lipschitz constants, global quadratic upper bounds and the exact value of restrictions at current iteration, are very difficult to meet in practical applications [27]. The lack of accurate real process derivatives is also an issue in practice.…”
