Distributed Control and Estimation of Sustainable Chemical Process Systems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Due to growing financial and environmental pressures, design and operation of sustainable processes are central challenges to chemical engineering science and practice. Renewable energy production and effluent treatment processes need to be operated in a consistent manner to meet performance and environmental objectives and ensure the viability of Canadian industries. As sustainable processes are highly integrated to reduce material and energy consumption, these processes are complex networks of interconnected sub-processes. Classical control strategies are limited for integrated processes as their inherent complexity renders analysis and control design computationally intractable.
