System and method for modeling and optimizing operation of non-linear process using quadratic polynomial equation with coefficients and economic load allocation

A method comprising:

• receiving at least one user defined quadratic polynomial equation modeling a specific model for operation of a non-linear process;
• receiving updated coefficients for the at least one user defined quadratic polynomial equation modeling the specific model for the operation of the non-linear process;
• performing an economic load allocation based on the updated coefficients and the at least one user defined quadratic polynomial equation modeling the specific model for the operation of the non-linear process;
• deriving optimized targets for at least one manipulated variable of the non-linear process based on the economic load allocation;
• and
• providing the optimized targets to hardware that adjusts the operation of the non-linear process.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive at least one user defined quadratic polynomial equation modeling a specific model for operation of a non-linear process;
• receive updated coefficients for the at least one user defined quadratic polynomial equation modeling the specific model for the operation of the non-linear process;
• perform an economic load allocation based on the updated coefficients and the at least one user defined quadratic polynomial equation modeling the specific model for the operation of the non-linear process;
• derive optimized targets for at least one manipulated variable of the non-linear process based on the economic load allocation;
• and
• provide the optimized targets to hardware that adjusts the operation of the non-linear process.
