A Review of Optimization Methods under Uncertainty for Short-term Scheduling of Batch Processes

Based on the uncertainty information been taken into account at the original scheduling stage or rescheduling stage,all kinds of optimal scheduling in uncertainty conditions were classified into two:stochastic scheduling and reactive scheduling.Stochastic scheduling would be subdivided into recourse-based stochastic programming,probabilistic programming,fuzzy programming and stochastic dynamic programming.By discussing and comparing their advantages,disadvantages and limitations,the common and effective response scheduling tool,new type of random scheduling method based on heuristic learning methods and fuzzy set theory,uncertainty scheduling integrated with planning,design integrated with scheduling and scheduling integrated with control will be the direction of further study.
