Industrial chemical plants are complex, highly integrated systems composed of geographically distributed processing units, linked together by material and energy streams. To ensure efficient operation in such integrated plants, multivariable optimal control methods like MPC are required. Although...

EM Algorithm for Electricity Pool Price Prediction and Errors-in-variables Process Identification
DownloadSpring 2016
In this thesis, under the EM algorithm framework, a multiple model approach is developed towards electricity price prediction, and the identification problem for errors-in-variables (EIV) systems is studied. Alberta's electricity price, which shows high volatility and erratic nature, is...

Price-Driven Coordination of Distributed Model Predictive Controllers: A Bi-Level Optimization Approach
DownloadFall 2015
Chemical and petrochemical plants typically integrate a number of geographically distributed operating units, which are physically linked through energy and material streams or inherently coupled via plant-wide constraints. The main drawback of the current decentralized control system is that it...
