Abstract

If a process is subject to time varying disturbance dynamics (or time varying disturbance models), the time invariant minimum variance control for one type of disturbance dynamics is no longer minimum variance control for another type of disturbance. An explicit solution to a time-invariant optimal control that can optimize overall performance of time-variant processes is derived in this paper and is used as a benchmark to assess control performance of time variant process under time invariant control. This work is a continuation of the work by Huang [Can. J. Chem. Eng. 77(5) (1999) 1044]. It is shown that this performance benchmark can be found from routine operating data through time series analysis and optimization technique. The developed performance assessment technique is illustrated by a simulated example and applied to an industrial process.
