Claim One:
1 ) A method of controlling and optimizing the operation of a process having a plurality of independently controlled, manipulated variables, at least one controlled variables and none or more disturbance variables comprising the steps of: a) determining simultaneously a set number of dynamic moves of said manipulated variables along with steady state values of said manipulated variables and said controlled variables in accordance with steady state constraints relating to said manipulated variables and said controlled variables as well as dynamic constraints relating to said manipulated variables and said controlled variables including where appropriate relating to said disturbance variables, b) embedding alarm controls in said simultaneous dynamic control and steady state optimization in accordance with varying type of alarming situations and aiding operator in recovery actions, c) performing a receding horizon form of control wherein said optimization and control is performed at successive time interval by monitoring and feedback of process responses resulting from the control actions applied at previous time intervals.
