Demonstration of leapfrogging for implementing nonlinear model predictive control on a heat exchanger

摘要

This work reveals the applicability of a relatively new optimization technique, Leapfrogging, for both nonlinear regression modeling and a methodology for nonlinear model-predictive control. Both are relatively simple, yet effective. The application on a nonlinear, pilot-scale, shell-and-tube heat exchanger reveals practicability of the techniques. (C) 2015 ISA.
