Working Group B: thematic focus
- Understanding the operator behaviour, decision making **+
- Dynamic optimisation, MPDS, algorithms and applications **+
- Combining physical simulators, grey box models and black box modelling *+
- Diagnostics, model based, simulation based * +
2nd choice:
- Easy interfacing to data: acquisition, preprocessing, storage *
- Soft sensors *
- Wet end dynamics *
- Combination of off-line data and on-line data ++
- Managing uncertain data, optimal filtering
- Multirate sampling, irregular sampling, missing data
- MPC Control actions ++
Other topics:
Data mining: PCA, PLS (chemometrics), clustering, fuzzy-neural nets,…+; model tracking +; MPC, Monitoring of condition of sensors, instrumentation, unit processes; Deinking control; Digesters, recovery, paper mill,…;CD control; Control based on models derived; Model maintenance; Model exchange, CAPE-OPEN; Training simulators; Models of paper quality; On-line performance measures, “indices”; Heavy discussion: is this too generic (not enough pulp/paper specific).
Working Group B: next steps
Next meeting in September during SCANSIMS in Copenhagen.
Topics of working group meetings:
- Next: Refine the thematic focus. It is recommended that all WG’s meet at same location (a lot of commonalities!).
- Next after that: Benefit + infrastructure analysis on application topic(s); Feb 05?
Exchange of software “tricks” (subgroup meetings)
- Matlab and other software
Interaction with industry – how to sell (subgroup/working group meetings)
It is intended to invite gPROMS people
Joint EU project, 10 year perspective (TNO)
STSM WGB/1: transfer of “Wedge” knowledge from KCL to UCM
