Zusammenfassung:Increasingly volatile electricity prices make simultaneous scheduling optimization desirable for production processes and their energy systems. Simultaneous scheduling needs to account for both process dynamics and binary on/off‐decisions in the energy system leading to challenging mixed‐integer dynamic optimization problems. We propose an efficient scheduling formulation consisting of three parts: a linear scale‐bridging model for the closed‐loop process output dynamics, a data‐driven model for the process energy demand, and a mixed‐integer linear model for the energy system. Process dynamics is discretized by collocation yielding a mixed‐integer linear programming (MILP) formulation. We apply the scheduling method to three case studies: a multiproduct reactor, a single‐product reactor, and a single‐product distillation column, demonstrating the applicability to multiple input multiple output processes. For the first two case studies, we can compare our approach to nonlinear optimization and capture 82% and 95% of the improvement. The MILP formulation achieves optimization runtimes sufficiently fast for real‐time scheduling.
