  • Real time optimization of batch processes
    Patent number: 10133268
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing a system operating in a first mode of operation include detecting an event associated with a cycle in a first mode of operation. When the cycle ends (i.e., when another event is detected), steady state criteria is applied to determine whether data associated with the cycle satisfies the steady state criteria. Optimization targets can be calculated based on the data associated with the cycle. Control signals including the optimization targets can be applied to a next cycle operating in the first mode of operation to improve process performance.
