Using Dynamic Optimization to Align Process Operations with Plant-wide Economics

Dynamic Optimization is a new area of economic opportunity in Production Optimization. Aspen GDOT™ improves overall site operating margins by closing the loop between planning / economics objectives and actual operations of units through real time coordination of several APC applications across a broad envelope. In this class, learn how to define applications and estimate benefits, align with planning and scheduling work processes, online monitoring capabilities, and best practices for sustaining benefits.
