Abstract: | Three layer control structure is proposed for optimal control of continuous fermentation processes. The start-up optimization problems are solved as a first step for optimization layer building. A steady state optimization problem is solved by a decomposition method using prediction principle. A discrete minimum time optimal control problem with state delay is formulated and a decomposition method, based on an augmented Lagrange's function is proposed to solve it. The problem is decomposed in time domain by a new coordinating vector. The obtained algorithms are used for minimum time optimal control calculation of Baker's Yeast fermentation process.List of Symbols
