Enterprise-wide sustainability involves aspects from molecular-scale design to macroscale
facilities. Typically, these aspects are treated as independent sub-problems. Maintaining …

Control system design involves input/output (IO) selection, that is, decisions on the number,
the place, and the type of actuators and sensors. The choice of inputs and outputs affects the …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

Plantwide control is concerned with the structural decisions involved in the control system
design of a chemical plant (CS Foss, Critique of chemical process control theory, AIChE …

In chemical process operation, the purpose of control is to achieve optimal process
operation despite the presence of significant uncertainty about the plant behavior and …

Today's fast-changing markets often require the granularity of production schedules to be
refined to time scales comparable to the time constants of a chemical process …

Fundamental developments of a unified process design framework for obtaining integrated
process and control systems design, which are economically optimal and can cope with …

Managing electricity demand has become a key consideration in power grid operations.
Industrial demand response (DR) is an important component of demand-side management …

In this work, we first discuss recent advances towards the integration of process design,
process control and process operability from the open literature and then we focus on …

Most (if not all) available control theories assume that a control structure is given at the
outset. They therefore fail to answer some basic questions that a control engineer regularly …
