Abstract

The dynamic optimization of promising forced periodic processes has always been limited by time-consuming and expensive numerical calculations. The Nonlinear Frequency Response (NFR) method removes these limitations by providing excellent estimates of any process performance criteria of interest. Recently, the NFR method evolved to the computer-aided NFR method (cNFR) through a user-friendly software application for the automatic derivation of the functions necessary to estimate process improvement. By combining the cNFR method with standard multi-objective optimization (MOO) techniques, we developed a unique cNFR–MOO methodology for the optimization of periodic operations in the frequency domain. Since the objective functions are defined with entirely algebraic expressions, the dynamic optimization of forced periodic operations is extraordinarily fast. All optimization parameters, i.e., the steady-state point and the forcing parameters (frequency, amplitudes, and phase difference), are determined rapidly in one step. This gives the ability to find an optimal periodic operation around a sub-optimal steady-state point. The cNFR–MOO methodology was applied to two examples and is shown as an efficient and powerful tool for finding the best forced periodic operation. In both examples, the cNFR–MOO methodology gave conditions that could greatly enhance a process that is normally operated in a steady state.
