The practical applicability of the methods is demonstrated in an experimental application to a real distillation column, involving the real-time optimization of a differential algebraic process model with more than 200 states, with sampling times of only a few seconds. In a numerical experiment, the periodic control of an unstable system, an airborne kite that is flying loopings, is investigated. The algorithm shows excellent robustness and real-time performance for both challenging on-line optimization examples. abstract_translated_lang: eng class_scheme: msc class_labels: 49-04 date: 2001 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00001659 ppn_swb: 164321571X own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-16592 date_accepted: 2001-06-25 advisor: HASH(0x556120eda0c8) language: eng bibsort: DIEHLMORITREALTIMEOP2001 full_text_status: public citation: Diehl, Moritz (2001) Real-Time Optimization for Large Scale Nonlinear Processes.
