Popis: Increasingly volatile electricity prices make simultaneous scheduling optimization desirable for production processes and their energy systems. Simultaneous scheduling needs to account for both process dynamics and binary on/off-decisions in the energy system leading to challenging mixed-integer dynamic optimization problems. We propose an efficient scheduling formulation consisting of three parts: a linear scale-bridging model for the closed-loop process output dynamics, a data-driven model for the process energy demand, and a mixed-integer linear model for the energy system. Process dynamics are discretized by collocation yielding a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation. We apply the scheduling method to three case studies: a multi-product reactor, a single-product reactor, and a single-product distillation column, demonstrating the applicability to multi-input multi-output processes. For the first two case studies, we can compare our approach to nonlinear optimization and capture 82 % and 95 % of the improvement. The MILP formulation achieves optimization runtimes sufficiently fast for real-time scheduling.
