Objectives, project description, background, proposed research

Scientific project focuses on development of modern control and optimisation methods of processes typical in chemical and food industries as chemical reactors, distillation columns, waste-water treatment plants, etc. The mail aim of the project is to develop new methods in dynamic and global optimisation, predictive control, and supervisory control. Proposed algorithms, controllers, and control structures will be tested in simulations and on laboratory processes.

The project also serves as a international support of VEGA projects studied at the department.
