Simultaneous Solution Strategies for Inclusion of Input Saturation in the Optimal Design of Dynamically Operable Plants

Recent work has considered the inclusion of input saturation in optimization-based integrated plant and control system design. Two mathematical formulations have been derived which allow saturation to be included within a simultaneous optimization framework; these are mixed-integer and bilinear formulations. The MIP formulation applied within an integrated design and control framework was found to be computationally intensive. This paper …
