Control optimization motivation

The impact that the design of a plant has on its ability to be satisfactorily controlled has motivated the development of systematic approaches to account for dynamic performance during the design process. Optimization-based approaches permit the plant design and operability criteria to be handled within a single framework, and they offer considerable flexibility in the problem definition. A caveat is that the type of control system needs to be specified, whieh needs to be borne in mind when results are interpreted. A key argument advanced in the IMC approach to... 

The centralized control can be approached using different techniques pole-placement, optimal control and loop decoupling. When the whole state is not accessible, a motivation to introduce a state observer is discussed. A detailed example when all state variables are accessible, i.e. when the state observer it is not necessary, has been explained. It is important to remark that the previously cited techniques are not widely used in CSTR control. This is due to the fact that these procedures require non-intuitive matrix tuning and computations, which are not familiar in the process industry. Nevertheless, for complex processes, these procedures can be the only solution to the control problem, when a limited set of sensors are available. 

We source raw materials directly from farms if we need them in fresh conditions, if they are perishable or if the quality we need is not available on the open market. In these cases we also aim for partnering with our suppliers, and for a long-term supplier relation based on confidence and on control systems. We want to ensure the quality we need by motivating farmers and by getting their right mind set to constantly improve the quality of their produce and to optimize the quality-cost-relation. 

This last class of methods provides a way of avoiding the repeated optimization of a process model by transforming it into a feedback control problem that directly manipulates the input variables. This is motivated by the fact that practitioners like to use feedback control of selected variables as a way to cormteract plant-model mismatch and plant disturbances, due to its simphcity and reliability compared to on-line optimization. The challenge is to find functions of the measured variables which, when held constant by adjusting the input variables, enforce optimal plant performance [19,21]. Said differently, the goal of the control structure is to achieve a similar steady-state performance as would be realized by an (fictitious) on-line optimizing controller. 

Fig. 5 shows good agreement between the experimental and simulation results of dynamic liquid bulk concentrations. Because of its complexity the rate-based model is not suitable for controller design and optimization of the RD process. Therefore, an extended equilibrium stage model, which includes a reaction kinetic, is used for these tasks. Fig. 6 shows comparisons of simulation results of the rate-based model (RBA) and the equilibrium stage model for a typical trajectory of input variables. The dynamic behavior is covered well by the simplified model and the deviations between the absolute values are acceptable for control purposes. The advantage of substantially reduced computing time motivates the use of the simplified model for control and optimization purposes. 

The basic merit of the cybernetic approach is that it adopts a mathematically simple description of a complex organism but compensates for the oversimplification by assigning an optimal control motive to its response. The implication is that the elaborate internal machinery of the cell provides the organism with the facility to implement the calculated control policy. 

When Hybrid kernel SVM improved by GA is used as IDS, the overall performance of IDS can improved. Experiment results shown that this method was useful and the detection right rate of intruders was above 95% for the KDD CUP 1999 data. The study is motivated by the need to effectively control misclassification error and enhance the learning and generation performance of SVMs. We turn to hybird-kernel SVM composed of Polynomial kernel and RBF kernel which have been proved to be of compensatory characteristics. In order to control misclassification error, we use GA to optimize the parameters of hybird kernel function. All of above represent the feasibility and advantage of our method. But there are many respects which need the further study inevitably. 

Optimal periodic control involves a periodic process, which is characterized by a repetition of its state over a fixed time period. Examples from nature include the circadian rhythm of the core body temperature of mammals and the cycle of seasons. Man-made processes are run periodically by enforcing periodic control inputs such as periodic feed rate to a chemical reactor or cyclical injection of steam to heavy oil reservoirs inside the earth s crust. The motivation is to obtain performance that would be better than that imder optimal steady state conditions.
