Real-time operating systems RTOS

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows in Section 2 we briefly introduce MrsP and the real-time operating systems (RTOS) on which we implemented and evaluated the effectiveness of the protocol. In Section 3 we point out the main challenges and issues encountered in the implementation of MrsP we discuss possible design choices and detail on the specific solutions adopted on each RTOS. In Section 4 we assess the runtime overheads and performances of our implementations. Section 5 discusses relevant related works. Finally, in Section 6 we summarize our efforts and outline our future lines of work.

A real-time optimization (RTO) system determines set point changes and implements them via the computer control system without intervention from unit operators. The RTO system completes all data transfer, optimization c culations, and set point implementation before unit conditions change and invahdate the computed optimum. In addition, the RTO system should perform all tasks without upsetting plant operations. Several steps are necessaiy for implementation of RTO, including determination of the plant steady state, data gathering and vahdation, updating of model parameters (if necessaiy) to match current operations, calculation of the new (optimized) set points, and the implementation of these set points. 

This paper investigate the feasibility using of grey-box neural type models (GNM) for design and operation of model based Real Time Optimization (RTO) systems operating in a dynamical fashion. The GNM is based on fundamental conservation laws associated with neural networks (NN) used to model uncertain parameters. The proposed approach is applied to the simulated Williams-Otto reactor, considering three GNM process approximations. Obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of the use of the GNM models in the RTO technology in a dynamic fashion. 

Real Time Evolution has been introduced as an alternative to current RTO systems. The key idea is to obtain a continuous adjustment of set point values, according to current operating conditions and disturbance measurements (those which affect the optimum location) using a steady state model, Table 1 summarises and compares the relevant features of both approaches. The steady state information is used by RTE only for data... 

Previous chapters have considered the development of process models and the design of controllers from an unsteady-state point of view. Such an approach focuses on obtaining reasonable closed-loop responses for set-point changes and disturbances. Up to this point, we have only peripherally mentioned how set points should be specified for the process. The on-line calculation of optimal set points, also called real-time optimization (RTO), allows the profits from the process to be maximized (or costs to be minimized) while satisfying operating constraints. The appropriate optimization techniques are implemented in the computer control system. Steady-state models are normally used, rather than dynamic models, because the process is intended to be operated at steady state except when the set point is changed.
