Abstract

An important aspect for model-based design and development as well as for process monitoring and control is the consideration of uncertain process parameters. One approach for the explicit consideration of such uncertainties is the formulation of Chance-Constrained optimization problems. Within the last years, several different methods for the efficient solution of these problems have been presented. In this work, chance constraints are evaluated following the idea of the variable mapping approach. Because the efficiency of the original approach deteriorates with an increasing number of uncertain parameters, the probability integration has been extended recently to the exploitation of sparse grids. In this work, additional techniques for improving the efficiency of the variable mapping approach are presented. Firstly, the solution of a subproblem, the so called shooting task is analyzed in detail and enhanced through an idea called here result recycling. Secondly, possible extensions are presented which make use of second order derivative information. The new methods are verified by application to an industrially validated process model of a vacuum distillation column for the separation of multicomponent fatty acids.
