Abstract

Based on a comprehensive study of technological processes occurring in the vacuum block for an installation of the ELOU-AVT type, the features of the complex technological complex under consideration as a control object were analyzed. In this regard, a statement for the optimization task of a block under study has been developed, taking into account restrictive conditions on control and input parameters. Taking into account the compiled mathematical models for the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the process under consideration and the algorithm for their gradient adaptation, to numerically solve the problem of optimizing the functioning for this block, the classical Lagrange method multipliers is used. In a wide range of changing conditions in input disturbing factors in quantity and quality, as well as insufficient operational quality information on the selected petroleum products, the proposed method and principles of development algorithm for controlling the process under study allows for prompt preliminary local regulation modes correction and the selection of new optimal modes for adaptive control as a whole. This circumstance leads to an increase in the economic production efficiency as a whole.
