Tutorial
In conjunction with the Nordic Process Control Workshop, we also offer a one day tutorial (Wednesday, August 25). We need a minimum of 5 registered participants to arrange it.
Dynamic Optimization of Modelica Models with JModelica.org and Optimica
The novel modelica-based open source project JModelica.org is particularly targeted at dynamic optimization of Modelica models. To meet this end, a language extension of Modelica, Optimica, has been defined. Optimica enables the user to encode dynamic optimization problems in a high-level description format on par with that of Modelica. The JModelica.org platform is intended to provide a flexible and extensible Modelica environment focused on optimization, with the particular objective of bridging the gap between the details of numerical algorithms and the engineering need for high-level description formats. JModelica.org also features a convenient scripting environment built on Python. The tutorial will give an introduction to the JModelica.org platform and provide hands on examples of how to use JModelica.org and Optimica to solve relevant optimization problems.
