OPTIMAL DECISIONS FOR LARGE SCALE SYSTEMS

Abstract This paper presents the software package SISCON, dedicated to the evaluation of optimal decisions for large scale systems. SISCON evaluates mathematical models nonlinear systems and computes the optimal decisions solving the mathematical nonlinear programming problems. The LSS is a complex system structure and global approach computation can not be carried out. After decomposition of the large-scale problems, the corresponding sub-problems are solved using standard optimization techniques. SISCON is used in control and supervision strategies for complex systems, improving the support of real-time applications. An application on steel plant, focused on the combustion process optimization of pre-heating installations, was implemented.
