Steady-state optimization research of model predictive control for the heat-exchanger network

The heat-exchanger network has the characteristics of nonlinearity,delay and binding,etc.In terms of the characteristics above,it was proposed applying the model predictive control to the control of heat-exchanger network,and a steady-state optimization research of model predictive control for the heat-exchanger network was carried out in this paper.The heat-exchanger network model was firstly established,and the minimum total cost was taken as objective function.The heat-exchanger network was then optimized by the steepest descent method to obtain the optimum bypass adjustment fractions for next step.An example showed that the optimum bypass adjustment fraction for every step can be calculated quickly and accurately using the optimization algorithm.Using the model predictive control not only ensures the outlet temperature reaching the objective value,but also increases the economic efficiency of the system to some extent.
