Nonlinear model predictive control requires the solution of nonlinear programs with potentially multiple local solutions. Here, deterministic global optimization can guarantee to find a global optimum. However, its application is currently severely …
Using nonlinear process models in discrete-time scheduling typically prohibits long planning horizons with fine temporal discretizations. Therefore, we propose an adaptive grid algorithm tailored for scheduling subject to time-variable electricity …
Synthetic membranes for desalination and ion separation processes are a prerequisite for the supply of safe and sufficient drinking water as well as smart process water tailored to its application. This requires a versatile membrane fabrication …
