Abstract: |
Increasing social, economic and environmental pressure
force the process industry to look for new ways to improve the overall
operation of their process systems.Since
these systems are operated at different levels of decision (apparatus, plant,
enterprise, etc.) integration of the different levels is expected to lead to
significant improvements in system efficiency (energy, waste, costs, quality,
product distribution, logistics, etc). Integration also results in increased
mathematical complexity that can not be handled with the
current numerical methods. This leads inevitably to a paradox: the integrated
problem needs to be decomposed again into simpler sub-problems that are
solved independently providing sub-optimal solutions. This paper will discuss
why integration fails and which steps are needed to break the paradox. Focus
will be on new modeling techniques for the different decision levels. |
