Static and dynamic optimisation using a model testbed
This chapter describes a Model Testbed (MOT), which is a multipurpose tool for static and dynamic simulation and optimization. The structure of MOT is discussed demonstrating how interfaces are instantiated in the integrated model test-bed tool. The usefulness of a model testbed is demonstrated by relating the tool to various stages of the process lifecycle.
In a reactor design case study, the model testbed was used from earliest model development for the determination of flexible and controllable design of the reactor. By solving the model with increasing complexity within the same tool, ensures seamless data transfer and less risk of error. It is shown how proper information and data flow in relation to the process design lifecycle leads to a more efficient design and a better approach to the integration of various design issues.
The usefulness of MOT is illustrated through a case study, which highlights the design and optimization of a continuous stirred tank reactor as steps in the process model lifecycle..
