DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION BY AUTOMATIC DIFFERENTIATION USING ECOSIMPRO Y CASADI

The problem of the dynamic optimization of industrial processes using automatic differentiation tools is tackled in this paper. Said optimization problem is solved both with a sequential approach (integration of the continuous model of the process) as well as simultaneous one (discretization of the continuous model). A comparison of the two is also provided. The implementation and solving of the problem has also be performed, to complement the above, with the EcosimPro and CasADi software packages.
