Abstract
Real-time steady-state optimization (RTO) has become increasing popular in recent years. But how should this optimal policy be implemented in the cont rol system? It is argued that the goal is to find a set of controlled varia bles which, when kept at constant setpoints, indirectly lead to near-optima l operation with acceptable loss. This is denoted 'self-optimizing' control . (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
