Abstract

The problems of optimizing the design and operational (control) variables during the integrated design of flexible automated complexes of chemical engineering process (CEP)—automated control systems (ACS) under conditions of the uncertainty of physicochemical, engineering, and economic initial data have been formalized. The selection of the best available version of a flexible automated complex is performed by means of the pairwise comparison of alternative versions of automated complexes using criteria that take into account both the quality of the manufactured products and the characteristics of energy and resource saving, on one hand, and the quality of transient processes in the ACS, on the other hand. A two-stage problem of stoichastic optimization of flexible automated complexes with hard and soft constraints has been stated, and a new approach to its solution has been proposed. An example of the integrated design of a flexible continuous process of azo pigments synthesis and a system of the optimum stabilization of its conditions in the presence of an interval uncertainty of the kinetic coefficients of the chemical reaction and individual engineering variables has been shown.
