gPROMS training courses
Optimisation with gPROMS® (1-day)
Other 1-day courses (Japan only)
gPROMS has industry-leading optimisation capabilities that allow values of interest to be calculated directly rather than by lengthy trial-and-error simulation.
This one-day training course helps process modellers to understand the power of gPROMS's optimisation technology and to apply it effectively to real problems. It covers steady-state, dynamic and mixed-integer optimisation.
Content
The course is organised as a combination of small group tutoring and hands-on exercises to cover the following topics:
- Applications and benefits of dynamic optimisation in batch and continuous processes
- The dynamic optimisation problem:
- objective function
- constraints
- decision variables
- Formulating steady-state and dynamic optimisation in gPROMS
- Interpretation and use of results
- Process modelling for dynamic optimisation
- model accuracy requirements
- dealing with model-plant mismatch
- ensuring model robustness
- optimising equipment parameters using distributed process models
- Mixed-integer optimisation: allowing the optimisation of continuous and discrete variables for steady-state and dynamic processes
The course assumes a basic knowledge of gPROMS to the level covered by the gPROMS Basics & Flowsheeting (1-day) and/or preferably gPROMS Model Developer (1-day) course
