It iteratively solves scheduling and dynamic optimization problems while approximating stochastic uncertainty through back-off terms, calculated through dynamic simulations of the process. This algorithm is compared, both in solution quality and performance, against a fully-integrated MINLP.enoptimizationschedulingcontroluncertaintyCombinatorial optimizationA Novel Back-Off Algorithm for the Integration Between Dynamic Optimization and Scheduling of Batch Processes Under UncertaintyMaster Thesis
