본 연구는 생물학적 폐수 처리 공정인 연속 회분식 반응기(sequencing batch reactor, SBR)에서 질소 제거 최적화를 위해 활성 오니 공정모델(activated sludge model, ASM No.1, ASM1)과 반복 동적 프로그래밍(iterative dynamic programming, IDP)을 이용하여 SBR의 처리 기준을 만족하면서 최적 운전 조건을 탐색하고 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연속 회분식 반응기의 최적화를 위해 에너지 최소화와 최소 회분 시간이 질소 처리의 농도 그래프의 면적과 비례하는 점을 이용하여 이를 고려한 새로운 performance index를 제안하였다. 회분 시간과 에너지에 대항하는 면적에 적절한 비중(weight)을 줌으로써 최소 회분 시간과 최소 에너지 문제를 동시에 고려하였다. SBR에서 IDP를 이용한 최적 운전서 최적 용존 산소 농도의 설정치가 전체 회분 시간과 전체 에너지 비용에 동시에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었고 최적 운전시 기존의 운전 방법과 같은 유기물과 질소 제거가 가능하고 동시에 전체 비용을 20％까지 줄일 수 있었다. 더 나아가 공정이상으로 실제 공정이 모델과 다른 모델링 에러에 의해 잘못된 모사의 경우에도 IDP를 이용하여 다시 재최적화할 수 있음을 보였다.

본 EXOTHERMIC BATCH 공정은 두 개의 FLUID BED REACTOR로 구성되며 여기서 다종의 제품이 생산된다. 각 제품은 그 제품 자체의 특징 온도 패턴을 갖게 되며 허용한계를 벗어나지 않는 제품을 생산하기 위해서는 그 특징 온도 패턴대로 제어되어야 하며 실패할 경우 그 배치를 포기하여야만 한다. 초기의 배치제어시스템에서는 램프 제너레이터(RAMP GENERATOR) 기능이 있는 공기식 계기가 사용되었으며 제품을 변경하기 위해서는 각 제품마다 일일이 그 특징 패턴을 수동으로 입력시켜 주어야만 했다. 이 과정에서 한 개의 파라미터를 실수하면 사용할 수 없는 제품이 된다. 다종 제품의 화학공정에서는 품질과 생산량 향상에 의한 이득 증대에 그 목표를 두고 있으며, 이와 같은 목표를 달성하기 위한 해결책은 운전자의 개입을 감소시켜주는 제어시스템으로 개선하는 것이었다. 본 논문에서는 배치공정에 있어서의 프로그래머블 콘트롤러(PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER)의 응용에 관하여 논술하고자 한다.

The optimization of fed-batch yeast fermentation process has been performed using genetic algorithm(GA). Three strategies were designed and applied to obtain the optimal feed rate profiles. Genes in the chromosome (input variables for optimization) included feed rates on fixed time intervals (strategy I), or swiching times $t_s1\;and\;t_s2$, and feed rates on singular arc (strategy II), or feed rates and the length of time interval (strategy III). Strategy III showed the best results for all initial conditions due to efficient utilization of genetic information. Simulation results using GA showed similar or better performance compared with previous results by variational caculus and singular control approach.

Aspects of modelling, performance monitoring, control and optimisation are discussed, with particular reference to the application of SPEEDUP. A new facility is described which allows SPEEDUP to operate in conjunction with other systems and several examples are briefly given of its power and flexibility. In particular, its use in on-line applications alongside plant management and distributed control systems is described and how it can be used in scheduling/sequencing problems in investigating batch and cyclic problems.

A cost-saving feeding rate contro method for a batch reaction process is proposed by reconfigurating the flow rate control loop where the feeding rate is estimated by differentiating weight measurement. While the existing control methods require either a flow rate measurement device or a flow rate estimator, the proposed method is devised not to require neither of these facilities by directly controlling the tank weight with a time-varying set point. Experimental evaluation in a pilot-scale unit shows that the proposed method can significantly reduce the actuator hunting of the existing method where the flow rate is estimated by differentiating the weight measurement.

An effective methodology is .reported for determining the optimal capacity (lot-size) of batch processing and storage networks which include material recycle or reprocessing streams. We assume that any given storage unit can store one material type which can be purchased from suppliers, be internally produced, internally consumed and/or sold to customers. We further assume that a storage unit is connected to all processing stages that use or produce the material to which that storage unit is dedicated. Each processing stage transforms a set of feedstock materials or intermediates into a set of products with constant conversion factors. The objective for optimization is to minimize the total cost composed of raw material procurement, setup and inventory holding costs as well as the capital costs of processing stages and storage units. A novel production and inventory analysis formulation, the PSW(Periodic Square Wave) model, provides useful expressions for the upper/lower bounds and average level of the storage inventory hold-up. The expressions for the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of the optimization problem can be reduced to two subproblems. The first yields analytical solutions for determining batch sizes while the second is a separable concave minimization network flow subproblem whose solution yields the average material flow rates through the networks. For the special case in which the number of storage is equal to the number of process stages and raw materials storage units, a complete analytical solution for average flow rates can be derived. The analytical solution for the multistage, strictly sequential batch-storage network case can also be obtained via this approach. The principal contribution of this study is thus the generalization and the extension to non-sequential networks with recycle streams. An illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the results obtainable using this approach.

As all delays resulting from the signaling network directly affect the response time of network management activity, all control informations have to be transported most efficiently. It is very important to know the performance of the signaling system not only because of smooth network operation but also because of efficient engineering of signaling networks. In this paper, we analyzed mean queueing delay of signaling link for ISUP signaling messages in common channel signaling system by using M[X]/G/1 and M[X]/D/1 batch arrival queueing system. This is because we modeled arrival process of the signaling messages as batch arrival process considering that many kinds of signaling messages are generated at short intervals when a call requests a connection. Analysis was carried out considering different call processing scenario based on ITU-T specification. We also described the numerical results from the different types of queueing models.

A problem of task rescheduling using a coordinator in a structural decentralized control of supervisory control theory is formulated. we consider that the overall system is divided into a number of local systems. Using an example of a chemical batch reaction process, it has shown that after local supervisors have been established for a given task, a coordinator can be used to solve some rescheduling problems among local plants for new or modified tasks. The coordination system models the interactions of local plants, and is consisting of only the shared events of local plants, so simpler to synthesize. A coordinator is designed based on the specifications given for the coordination system. Under the 'structural' conditions developed in this paper, the combined concurrent actions of the coordinator with the existing local supervisors will achieve the rescheduling requirements. Again since the conditions are structural (not specification-dependent), once the coordination architecture has been established, it can be used for a number of different tasks without further verifications.

Three different reflux policies are compared for a batch distillation process in which a fixed recovery with a given average purity of the distillate is required ; the first, for the constant distillate purity ; the second, for the constant reflux ratio ; finally, for the optimal reflux policy which gives the minimum operation time. The optimal reflux policy was obtained using pontryagin's maximum principle. Througy the numerical simulations for the three different binary mixtures, it was found that the time advantage of the optimal reflux operation over the constant overhead composition operation varies form 10.0 to 22.4% and the advantage over the constant reflux operation varies from 1106 to 36.6% in the three cases considered.

A simple control strategy of DO-stat was introduced to the recombinant rGuamerin production process in Pichia pastoris. This induction strategy consisted of two interrelated control loops ‘by which oxygen ratio of inlet gas and methanol feeding rate was controlled. Using this control strategy, over-feeding or under-feeding of methanol could be avoided in concomitance with the efficient control of dissolved oxygen level. As a result, the cell concentration reached 130 g/L and rGuamerin expression level was 450 iu/L, which was more than 40% increased result comparing with the fed-batch process using manual control of methanol feeding rate.
