OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODS

I.M. Edwards and Arthur Jutan Department of Chemical & Biochemical
Engineering University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada

Abstract -

Many processes exhibit an optimum that moves in time. Most optimization
algorithms assume that the optimum is like a static hill and their
procedures rely on this. This paper extends the ideas of Response
Surface Methodology (RSM) to allow tracking of dynamic optima. The new
algorithm is called DRSM. Many model based control algorithms are
structured as optimization problems, albeit for linear processes. DRSM
is then also used to develop a model predictive controller that can be
used for non-linear, time-varying processes, without the need for a
detailed process model. Simulations are used to demonstrate the
algorithm on problems in optimization and control.
