Variant and Invariant States for Chemical Reaction Systems

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

Models of open non-isothermal heterogeneous reaction systems can be quite complex as they include information regarding the reactions, the inlet and outlet flows, the transfer of species between phases and the transfer of energy. This paper builds on the c ...

On the Design of Economic NMPC Based on Approximate Turnpike Properties

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser

We discuss the design of sampled-data economic nonlinear model predictive control schemes for continuous-time systems based on turnpike properties. In a recent paper we have shown that an exact turnpike property allows establishing finite-time convergence ...

On the Use of Second-Order Modifiers for Real-Time Optimization

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser

We consider the real-time optimization of static plants and propose a generalized version of the modifier-adaptation strategy that relies on second-order adaptation of the cost and constraint functions. We show that second-order adaptation allows checking ...
