Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a parametric multifaceted model of a process plant configured to receive inputs from the process plant, and to map a first set of parameters relating to a first facet of the parametric multifaceted model of the process plant into a second set of parameters relating to a second facet of the parametric multifaceted model of the process plant; an optimization system configured to optimize operation of the process plant using the second set of parameters and a first parameterized input/output control model, wherein the first parameterized input/output control model comprises a short-cut model; and a control system configured to control operation of the process plant using the first set of parameters and a second parameterized input/output control model, wherein the second parameterized input/output control model comprises a detailed dynamic model, wherein the first set of parameters is different than the second set of parameters and mapping the first set of parameters into the second set of parameters facilitates maintaining consistency between the first parameterized input/output control model and the second parameterized input/output control model, wherein the mapping of the first set of parameters into the second set of parameters is a function of current and/or anticipated operating conditions of the process plant and occurs over a time horizon during operation of the process plant allowing for control of the process plant.
