Abstract
The common mathematical programming approach to the
short-term scheduling and control of batch processes
often leads to non-standard NP-complete mixed integer
non-linear programming (MINLP) problems. It is shown that
the scheduling problem can also be formulated as an
optimal control problem. By the utilization of a
simulation model of the process optimal operational
schedules can then be found by the methods of
evolutionary computation. The new approach is
demonstrated by the optimization of the schedule of
batches in a model of a chemical process.
