Dynamic Optimization of a Continuous Polymer Reactor Using a Modified Differential Evolution Algorithm

Abstract: Dynamic optimization of a continuous polymer reactor aims to decide optimal trajectories of control input variables so that the transition time, required to reach the desired steady state from the initial state during startup or grade-change operation, is minimized. The problem is challenging because of its highly nonlinear dynamics and multimodal properties. The proposed modified differential evolution (MDE) algorithm is different from differential evolution algorithms in the sense that MDE employs a local se… Show more

“…The DE algorithm was applied by previous authors to solve parameter estimation and optimal control problems [25,[35][36][37] and has been found to be efficient and reliable. In this study, a DE was used to estimate model parameters and to find an optimal temperature profile.…”

“…Pontryagin's minimum principle, are efficient only for simple optimal control problems, whereas the parameterization methods, e.g. successive quadratic programming (SQP), when applied to nonlinear, multimodal, and discontinuous systems will often converge to a local optimum and not to the desired global optimum [14]. Differential Evolution algorithms is one of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) belonging to a class of random search and global optimization methods.…”

“…In this paper, two strategies are employed for mutation: DE/rand/1 and DE/ current-to-best/1 that use Eqs. 1 and 2, respectively (see Price 1999 andLee et al 1999). But for simplicity, the DE which uses Eq.…”

“…The critical value of F which gives a compromise between the intensification and diversification of the population is calculated analytically. Another suggestion is due to Lee et al [16], where a small initial value F ∈ (0, 1) is set at each iteration k. Then for each target vector x i,k , a trial vector y i,k is found as in the original DE. If the trial vector y i,k is better than the target vector…”

“…This process of creating a new trial vector and comparing it with the previous trial vector continues until there is no more improvement in the objective function. In [16], the value of C R is set to 0.5. In general, however, effective values of F and C R lie in the ranges [0.4, 1] and [0.4, 0.9], respectively [1,14].…”
