Due to the repetition, there are two independent “time” variables, namely, the run time during a batch and the batch index. Accordingly, the control and optimization objectives can be defined for a given batch or over several batches. This chapter describes the various control and optimization strategies available for the operation of batch processes. These include online and run-to-run control on the one hand, and repeated numerical optimization and optimizing control on the other. Several case studies are presented to illustrate the various approaches.Batch controlPredictive controlIterative learning controlRun-to-run controlBatch process optimizationDynamic optimizationOptimizing controlRun-to-run optimizationtext::book/monograph::book part or chapter
