COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTIMAL OPERATIVE STATE OF A PRODUCTION PROCESS OF AN INDUSTRIAL PLANT

摘要

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for the purpose of determining an optimal operative state of a production process of an industrial plant, particularly suitable for an industrial chemical plant. The method allows simulating this production process by instantiating suitable simulation modules and solving a maximization problem combined with an iterative method which, after convergence, makes the values of the parameters of all the instantiated modules compatible, and returns, among other values, the set of control parameters which, used in the production process, would take it to the optimal operative state. The method allows operating in simulation mode, determining the optimal conditions in response to a given set point value, and also in control mode where the parameters are applied to the industrial plant, taking the production process to the values provided by the pre-established optimal conditions.
