The dynamic optimization for chemical processes usually has the following properties : (1) highly nonlinear (2) containing complex and discontinuous constraints and (3) delay arguments. The conventional maximum principle approaches often encounter som problems such as unstable integration and difficulties in obtaining global optimum. In this study, the use of iterative dynamic programming(IDP) presents the advantages of obtaining global optimum, solving problem without transformation, and in itself constituting a simple concept. In stead of the conventional penalty function method, the modified Powell's multiplier algorithm is incorporated to handle each constraint.
As far as the optimization of multiobjective dynamic systems, the conventional multiobjective optimization usually requires the adjustment of parameters to generate many Pareto optimum from which are to be chosen by the decision maker. In a complex optimization problem, this approach takes rather high computational effort. In the current stydy, the use of IDP along with fuzzy decision making procedure can directly approach the desired solution of the decision maker. In the multiobjective dynamic optimization of the Nylon-6 batch reactor and the Penicillin G fed-batch fermentation process, the efficiency of the method is verified.
