Outline of Final Research Achievements

Fast algorithms for solving nonlinear optimal control problems were investigated to optimally control large-scale and complicated systems, and their applications to various fields were examined. Achievements in this research include, for example, development of efficient optimization algorithms for control of large-scale systems, systematic tuning methods of control responses, and a tool for automatic coding of the algorithms. The algorithms have been validated in various applications such as control of distributions of temperature and velocity in thermal fluid systems, suppression of quality dispersion in a steel making process, water quality control in advanced sewage treatment facilities, demand control in smart grids, control of power generation and attitude oscillation in floating off-shore wind turbines, and so on.
