Full textIn this thesis, I have studied the hydrodynamics of the Ouano coral lagoon in NewCaledonia and implemented a novel parameter identification algorithm to do so.Wave-breaking and tides dominate the Ouano lagoon; I wanted to evaluate theirimpact on the lagoon flushing.Several studies have been done in the lagoon before. I rely on both their findings forthe circulation and their tools for the modeling, namely the CROCO ( Coastal RegionalOcean COmmunity model) of C. Chevalier. I also have used data collected in 2016 inthe lagoon. However, some uncertainties remained on the amount of water broughtby the tides and the wave-breaking in the lagoon. Also, the parametrization of thewave-breaking friction coefficient and the tidal boundary conditions in the numericalmodel was uncertain.I implemented and tested a tool to improve those parametrizations or other modelparameters. This tool was a stochastic parameter identification algorithm, the Simul-taneous Perturbations Stochastic Approximations (SPSA) algorithm.We first tested different variants of the algorithm in a controlled environment andwith a 1-D turbulence model. Then I have used this algorithm to identify boundaryconditions with a linear tidal model of the Ouano lagoon. Finally, I have used thealgorithm to study the impact of the wave-breaking on the measurement of tides inthe Ouano

Full textThis thesis deals with the localized failure for structures built of heterogeneous composite material, such as concrete, at two different scale. These two scale are latter connected through the stochastic upscaling, where any information obtained at meso-scale are used as prior knowledge at macro-scale. At meso scale, lattice model is used to represent the multi-phase structure of concrete, namely cement and aggregates. The beam element represented by 3D Timoshenko beam embedded with strong discontinuities ensures complete mesh independency of crack propagation. Geometry of aggregate size is taken in agreement with EMPA and Fuller curve while Poisson distribution is used for spatial distribution. Material properties of each phase is obtained with Gaussian distribution which takes into account the Interface Transition Zone (ITZ) through the weakening of concrete. At macro scale multisurface plasticity model is chosen that takes into account both the contribution of a strain hardening with non-associative flow rule as well as a strain softening model components for full set of different 3D failure modes. The plasticity model is represented with Drucker-Prager yield criterion, with similar plastic potential function governing hardening behavior while strain softening behavior is represented with St. Venant criterion. The identification procedure for macro-scale model is perfomed in sequential way. Due to the fact that all ingredients of macro-scale model have physical interpretation we made calibration of material parameters relevant to particular stage. This approach is latter used for model reduction from meso-scale model to macro-scale model where all scales are considered as uncertain and probability computation is performed. When we are modeling homogeneous material each unknown parameter of reduced model is modeled as a random variable while for heterogeneous material, these material parameters are described as random fields. In order to make appropriate discretizations we choose p-method mesh refinement over probability domain and h-method over spatial domain. The forward model outputs are constructed by using Stochastic Galerkin method providing outputs more quickly the the full forward model. The probabilistic procedure of identification is performed with two different methods based on Bayes’s theorem that allows incorporating new observation generated in a particular loading program. The first method Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is identified as updating the measure, whereas the second method Polynomial Chaos Kalman Filter (PceKF) is updating the measurable function. The implementation aspects of presented models are given in full detail as well as their validation throughthe numerical examples against the experimental results or against the benchmarks available from literature

Full textThe object of this PhD has consisted in elaborating evolutionary computing algorithms to find interesting solutions to important problems in several domains of automation science, applied to aircrafts mission conduction and to understand what could be the advantages of using such approaches, compared to the state-of-the-art, in terms of efficiency, robustness, and effort of implementation.New algorithms have been developed, in Identification, Path planning, Navigation and Control and have been tested on simulation and on real world platforms (AR.Drone 3.0 UAV (Parrot), Oktokopter UAV, Twin Otter and military fighter F-16 (NASA LaRC)), to assess the performances improvements, given by the new proposed approaches.Most of these new approaches provide very interesting results; and research work (on control by evolutionary algorithms, identification by genetic programming and relative navigation) should be engaged to plan potential applications in different real world technologies

Full textIn this Thesis, we study sequential learning problems called stochastic multi-armed bandits. First a new bandit algorithm is presented. The analysis of that algorithm uses confidence intervals on the mean of the arms reward distributions, as most bandit proofs do. In a parametric setting, we derive concentration inequalities which quantify the deviation between the mean parameter of a distribution and its empirical estimation in order to obtain confidence intervals. These inequalities are presented as bounds on the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Three extensions of the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem are then studied. First we study the so-called combinatorial semi-bandit problem, in which an algorithm chooses a set of arms and the reward of each of these arms is observed. The minimal attainable regret then depends on the correlation between the arm distributions. We consider then a setting in which the observation mechanism changes. One source of difficulty of the bandit problem is the scarcity of information: only the arm pulled is observed. We show how to use efficiently eventual supplementary free information (which do not influence the regret). Finally a new family of algorithms is introduced to obtain both regret minimization and est arm identification regret guarantees. Each algorithm of the family realizes a trade-off between regret and time needed to identify the best arm. In a second part we study the so-called pure exploration problem, in which an algorithm is not evaluated on its regret but on the probability that it returns a wrong answer to a question on the arm distributions. We determine the complexity of such problems and design with performance close to that complexity

Full textThe thesis work is part of the numerical modeling of the flow of cementitious materials in the fresh state coupled with an identification procedure of the parameters. It deals in particular with the step of the development of the identification by inverse analysis. First,the literature review reveals the existence of rheometric tools dedicated to cementitious suspensions; The passage from the macroscopic quantities to the local ones is made either by the use of conventional geometries or by means of calibration methods. Nevertheless, these tools do not make it possible to find the expected single rheological signature for a given suspension. In addition, there are few studies reporting strategies for identifying constitutive parameters in the case of fresh cement-based materials and they are limited to local data. Then, a strategy consisting in identifying the parameters of a supposed law, directly on the basis of the simulated macroscopic measurements (torques, rotational speeds imposed on the shearing tool) was developed and validated in 2D, discussing in particular the efficiency Of the optimization algorithms tested (simplex method and genetic algorithms), according to the degree of knowledge that the user has of the material. Finally, the method has been applied in 3D on model fluids, assuming that they are homogeneous. The method appears effective in the case of pseudo-plastic fluid, in particular by combining both optimization algorithms used. But there remain obstacles to overcome in the case of visco-plastic fluids, probably related to the experimental tools rather than to the procedure of identification itself

Full textActualmente, gracias al aumento de la capacidad de los ordenadores para resolver problemas grandes y complejos, y gracias también al gran esfuerzo de la comunidad geotécnica de definir mejores y más sofisticados modelos constitutivos, se ha abordado el reto de predecir y simular el comportamiento del terreno. Sin embargo, debido al aumento de esa sofisticación, también ha aumentado el número de parámetros que definen el problema. Además, frecuentemente, muchos de esos parámetros no tienen un sentido geotécnico real dado que vienen directamente de expresiones puramente matemáticas, lo cual dificulta su identificación. Como consecuencia, es necesario un mayor esfuerzo en la identificación de los parámetros para poder definir apropiadamente el problema. Esta tesis pretende proporcionar una metodología que facilite la identificación mediante el análisis inverso de los parámetros de modelos constitutivos del terreno. Los mejores parámetros se definen como aquellos que minimizan una función objetivo basada en la diferencia entre medidas y valores calculados. Diferentes técnicas de optimización han sido utilizadas en este estudio, desde las más tradicionales, como los métodos basados en el gradiente, hasta las más modernas, como los algoritmos genéticos adaptativos y los métodos híbridos. De este estudio, se han extraído varias recomendaciones para sacar el mayor provecho de cada una de las técnicas de optimización. Además, se ha llevado a cabo un análisis extensivo para determinar la influencia sobre qué medir, dónde medir y cuándo medir en el contexto de la excavación de un túnel. El código de Elementos Finitos Plaxis ha sido utilizado como herramienta de cálculo del problema directo. El desarrollo de un código FORTRAN ha sido necesario para automatizar todo el procedimiento de Análisis Inverso. El modelo constitutivo de Hardening Soil ha sido adoptado para simular el comportamiento del terreno. Varios parámetros del modelo constitutivo de Hardening implementado en Plaxis, como E_50^ref, E_ur^ref, c y f, han sido identificados para diferentes escenarios geotécnicos. Primero, se ha utilizado un caso sintético de un túnel donde se han analizado todas las distintas técnicas que han sido propuestas en esta tesis. Después, dos casos reales complejos de una construcción de un túnel (Línea 9 del Metro de Barcelona) y una gran excavación (Estación de Girona del Tren de Alta Velocidad) se han presentado para ilustrar el potencial de la metodología. Un enfoque especial en la influencia del procedimiento constructivo y la estructura del error de las medidas se le ha dado al análisis inverso del túnel, mientras que en el análisis inverso de la estación el esfuerzo se ha centrado más en el concepto del diseño adaptativo mediante el análisis inverso. Además, otro caso real, algo menos convencional en términos geotécnicos, como es la exploración de la superficie de Marte mediante robots, ha sido presentado para examinar la metodología y la fiabilidad del modelo de interacción suelo-rueda de Wong y Reece; extensamente adoptado por la comunidad que trabajo en Terramecánica, pero aún no totalmente aceptada para robots ligeros como los que se han utilizado recientemente en las misiones de exploración de Marte.

In most modal analysis of ambient vibrations, it is usually assumed that excitation is a stationary white noise because of the randomness of ambient excitation. However, most of the realistic ambient vibrations are nonstationary signals that statistics change over time. In this thesis, Data-driven Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI-Data) method is employed to study the nonstationary ambient vibration problems. This identification method is based on the state subspace model which is a stationary time series model. In order to identify nonstationary vibrations, this thesis improves the curve fitting method proposed by previous studies, which convert the output responses to the approximate stationary responses. In the SSI-Data method, the order of a system is determined by singular value decomposition and the modal parameters are then calculated. However, for the identification of realistic nonstationary vibrations, there is no obvious jump point in the singular value decomposition diagram. Therefore, this thesis adopts stabilization diagram to determine the orders of the system, and then formulates the criterions and procedures to extract the modal parameters.

In operational modal analysis, we usually assume that excitation is a stationary white noise for ambient randomness. According to previous studies, a non-white response can be obtained through a hypothetical system using stationary white noise. Furthermore, the response can be applied to the system to simulate the dynamic behavior of the system in a non-white ambient vibration. In the research, we solve the problems of modal identifi-cation for non-white ambient vibration by Data-driven Stochastic Subspace Identifica-tion (SSI-DATA). SSI-DATA determines the orders of the system by singular value de-composition and calculates the modal parameters. For the modal parameter identification of system in ambient vibration of non-white noise, the numerical analysis shows that the order of the identified system and the order of the hypothetical system must be taken into consideration when determining the system order, so that we get correct identifica-tions with sufficient dynamic information.

Full textΗ παρούσα διατριβή πραγματεύεται την αναγνώριση πολυμεταβλητών στοχαστικών συστημάτων που παρουσιάζουν πολλαπλές συνθήκες λειτουργίας, βασιζόμενοι σε δεδομένα που αντιστοιχούν σε ένα δείγμα ενδεικτικών συνθηκών λειτουργίας. Η σπουδαιότητα του προβλήματος είναι μεγάλη, καθώς στην πράξη συναντώνται πολύ συχνά συστήματα όπου οι επιμέρους συνθήκες λειτουργίας παραμένουν σταθερές ανά χρονικά διαστήματα. Τυπικά παραδείγματα περιλαμβάνουν μηχανολογικές, αεροναυτικές και δομικές κατασκευές που λειτουργούν κάτω από διαφορετικές συνθήκες (π.χ. θερμοκρασίας και/ή υγρασίας) σε διαφορετικές συνθήκες (π.χ. περίοδος της ημέρας). Οι διαφορετικές συνθήκες λειτουργίας ενδέχεται να επηρεάσουν ένα σύστημα και ως εκ τούτου τα δυναμικά χαρακτηριστικά του. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ένα σύνολο δεδομένων που αντιστοιχούν σε διαφορετικές συνθήκες λειτουργίας, είναι επιθυμητή η εύρεση ενός "γενικευμένου" μοντέλου ικανού να περιγράψει το σύστημα σε όλο το φάσμα των αποδεκτών συνθηκών λειτουργίας. Στην παρούσα διατριβή το πρόβλημα αυτό αντιμετωπίζεται μέσω ενός καινοτόμου πλαισίου αναγνώρισης στοχαστικών μοντέλων Συναρτησιακής Σώρευσης (stochastic Functional Pooling Framework), το οποίο εισάγει συναρτησιακές εξαρτήσεις (αναφορικά με την κατάσταση λειτουργίας) στην δομή του μοντέλου. Το συγκεκριμένο πλαίσιο Συναρτησιακής Σώρευσης προσφέρει σημαντικά πλεονεκτήματα σε σχέση με άλλες μεθόδους εύρεσης γενικευμένων μοντέλων που χρησιμοποιούν μεθόδους παρεμβολής (interpolation) σε ένα σύνολο συμβατικών μοντέλων (ένα για κάθε συνθήκη λειτουργίας), όπως: (i) Η ταυτόχρονη διαχείριση δεδομένων που αντιστοιχούν σε διαφορετικές συνθήκες λειτουργίας, καθώς και η διευθέτηση των αλληλοεξαρτήσεων μεταξύ δεδομένων που ανήκουν σε διαφορετικές συνθήκες λειτουργίας παρέχοντας με τον τρόπο αυτό μοντέλα με βέλτιστη στατιστική ακρίβεια, (ii) η χρήση συμπτυγμένων μοντέλων τα οποία περιγράφουν με ακρίβεια τα δυναμικά χαρακτηριστικά του συστήματος σε κάθε κατάσταση λειτουργίας, αποφεύγοντας έτσι την χρήση συμβατικών μεθόδων παρεμβολής, (iii) ο προσδιορισμός των αβεβαιοτήτων στη μοντελοποίηση κάθε κατάστασης λειτουργίας μέσω εκτίμησης κατάλληλων διαστημάτων εμπιστοσύνης. Μέχρι στιγμής, η έρευνα πάνω στο πλαίσιο Συναρτησιακής Σώρευσης έχει επικεντρωθεί στα βαθμωτά στοχαστικά μοντέλα. Η παρούσα διατριβή σαν στόχο έχει (i) την κατάλληλη διαμόρφωση και επέκταση του πλαισίου Συναρτησιακής Σώρευσης για την περίπτωση πολυμεταβλητών στοχαστικών συστημάτων που λειτουργούν με πολλαπλές συνθήκες λειτουργίας , και (ii) την εισαγωγή μιας καινοτόμου μεθοδολογίας ανίχνευσης βλαβών για συστήματα που παρουσιάζουν πολλαπλές συνθήκες λειτουργίας βασιζόμενη σε πολυμεταβλητά μοντέλα Συναρτησιακής Σώρευσης και στον στατιστικό έλεγχο υποθέσεων. Η περίπτωση των πολυμεταβλητών μοντέλων παρουσιάζει τεχνικές δυσκολίες που δεν συναντώνται στα βαθμωτά μοντέλα, καθώς η δομή των μοντέλων είναι πιο περίπλοκη ενώ η παραμετροποίησή τους είναι μη-τετριμμένη θέτοντας έτσι ζητήματα αναγνωρισιμότητας (model identifiability). Η παρούσα διατριβή εστιάζει σε Συναρτησιακά Σωρευμένα Διανυσματικά μοντέλα ΑυτοΠαλινδρόμησης με εΞωγενή είσοδο (Functionally Pooled Vector AutoRegressive with eXogenous excitation; FP-VARX), και σε Διανυσματικά μοντέλα ΑυτοΠαλινδρόμησης με Κινητό Μέσο Όρο (Functionally Pooled AutoRegressive with Moving Average; FP-VARMA). Τα μοντέλα αυτά μπορεί να θεωρηθούν ως γενικεύσεις των συμβατικών μοντέλων VARX/VARMA με την σημαντική διαφοροποίηση ότι οι παράμετροι του μοντέλου είναι συναρτήσεις της συνθήκης λειτουργίας. Το πρώτο κεφάλαιο της διατριβής επικεντρώνεται στην αναγνώριση μοντέλων FP-VARX. Αναπτύσσονται εκτιμήτριες βασισμένες στις μεθόδους των Ελαχίστων Τετραγώνων (Least Squares; LS) και της Μέγιστης Πιθανοφάνειας (Maximum Likelihood; ML), ενώ στη συνέχεια μελετώνται η συνέπεια (consistency) και η ασυμπτωτική κατανομή (asymptotic distribution)τους. Επιπλέον, καθορίζονται συνθήκες που εξασφαλίζουν την αναγνωρισιμότητα (identifiability) των FP-VARX μοντέλων, ενώ ο προσδιορισμός της δομής τους βασίζεται σε κατάλληλα τροποποιημένα κριτήρια πληροφορίας (information criteria). Η αποτίμηση της μοντελοποίησης με FP-VARX, καθώς επίσης και η αποτελεσματικότητά τους έναντι των συμβατικών μοντέλων VARX εξακριβώνεται μέσω προσομοιώσεων Monte Carlo. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο διερευνάται η αναγνώριση των θερμοκρασιακών επιρροών στα δυναμικά χαρακτηριστικά μιας ευφυούς δοκού από σύνθετο υλικό. Το πρόβλημα μελετάται χρησιμοποιώντας συμβατικά μοντέλα καθώς και "γενικευμένα" μοντέλα. Η συμβατική μοντελοποίηση περιλαμβάνει μη-παραμετρικές παραστάσεις που βασίζονται στην μέθοδο Welch (ανάλυση στο πεδίο συχνοτήτων), καθώς και παραμετρικές παραστάσεις βασισμένες στα μοντέλα VARX (ανάλυση στο πεδίο χρόνου). H "γενικευμένη" μοντελοποίηση περιλαμβάνει παραστάσεις Σώρευσης με Σταθερές Παραμέτρους (Constant Coefficient Pooled VARX; CCP-VARX), καθώς και VARX παραστάσεις Συναρτησιακής Σώρευσης (Functionally Pooled VARX; FP-VARX). Η ανάλυση υποδεικνύει ότι τα χαρακτηριστικά των "γενικευμένων" και των συμβατικών μοντέλων βρίσκονται σε γενική συμφωνία μεταξύ τους. Ωστόσο, τα "γενικευμένα" μοντέλα περιγράφουν τα δυναμικά χαρακτηριστικά του συστήματος με μικρότερο αριθμό παραμέτρων, γεγονός που προσδίδει μεγαλύτερη ακρίβεια στην εκτίμησή τους. Το μοντέλο CCP-VARX τείνει να σταθμίσει τα δυναμικά χαρακτηριστικά του συστήματος σε κάποιον "μέσο όρο" με σχετική ακρίβεια. Απεναντίας το μοντέλο FP-VARX υπερέχει σε ακρίβεια, καθώς επιδεικνύει μια εξομαλυμένη καθοριστική εξάρτηση των δυναμικών χαρακτηριστικών του συστήματος με την θερμοκρασία, γεγονός που είναι συμβατό με την φυσική του προβλήματος. Το τρίτο κεφάλαιο επικεντρώνεται στην αναγνώριση μοντέλων FP-VARMA. Αναπτύσσονται εκτιμήτριες βασισμένες στις μεθόδους των Ελαχίστων Τετραγώνων Δύο Σταδίων (Two Stage Least Squares; 2SLS) και της Μέγιστης Πιθανοφάνειας (Maximum Likelihood; ML), ενώ στην συνέχεια μελετώνται η συνέπεια και η ασυμπτωτική κατανομή τους. Επιπλέον, εισάγεται μια νέα μέθοδος για την εκτίμηση 2SLS που απλοποιεί σημαντικά την διαδικασία εξαγωγής υπολοίπων (residuals) από το πρώτο στάδιο. Επίσης, καθορίζονται οι συνθήκες που εξασφαλίζουν αναγνωρισιμότητα στα μοντέλα FP-VARMA. Ο προσδιορισμός της δομής των μοντέλων FP-VARMA πραγματοποιείται χάρη σε μια μεθοδολογία δύο σταδίων που βασίζεται στην Ανάλυση Κανονικοποιημένων Συσχετίσεων (Canonical Correlation Analysis; CCA) και κριτηρίων πληροφορίας, αποφεύγοντας έτσι την εκτεταμένη χρήση αλγορίθμων αναζήτησης. Η αποτίμηση της μοντελοποίησης με FP-VARMA, καθώς επίσης και η αποτελεσματικότητά τους έναντι των συμβατικών VARMA εξακριβώνεται μέσω προσομοιώσεων Monte Carlo. Το τέταρτο κεφάλαιο πραγματεύεται την ανίχνευση βλαβών σε συστήματα που παρουσιάζουν πολλαπλές συνθήκες λειτουργίας. Προτείνεται μια νέα μεθοδολογία που βασίζεται σε καινοτόμα μοντέλα Συναρτησιακής Σώρευσης και στον στατιστικό έλεγχο υποθέσεων. Παρουσιάζονται δυο εκδόσεις της μεθοδολογίας: η πρώτη βασίζεται στα μορφικά χαρακτηριστικά του μοντέλου ενώ η δεύτερη στις παραμέτρους του μοντέλου. Επιπλέον, χρησιμοποιούνται μέθοδοι συμπίεσης της πληροφορίας που περιέχουν τα μορφικά χαρακτηριστικά ή οι παράμετροι του μοντέλου μέσω της Ανάλυσης Κύριων Συνιστωσών (Principal Component Analysis; PCA) σε μια προσπάθεια απλοποίησης της διαδικασίας ανίχνευσης βλαβών. Η αποτελεσματικότητα της μεθοδολογίας επαληθεύεται πειραματικά σε μια "ευφυή" δοκό από σύνθετο υλικό, η οποία ταλαντώνεται σε διαφορετικές θερμοκρασίες. Στην παρούσα μορφή της η μεθοδολογία χρησιμοποιεί δεδομένα απόκρισης ταλάντωσης, ωστόσο δεδομένα διέγερσης-απόκρισης μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν εφόσον κριθεί σκόπιμο. Η εξάρτηση των δυναμικών χαρακτηριστικών της δοκού με την θερμοκρασία περιγράφεται με τη χρήση μοντέλων FP-VAR, ενώ εισάγεται μια νέα μέθοδος καθορισμού της δομής του μοντέλου που αποφεύγει την χρήση αλγορίθμων αναζήτησης. Πλήθος πειραμάτων που καλύπτουν ένα ευρύ θερμοκρασιακό πεδίο, καθώς και συγκρίσεις με άλλες μεθοδολογίες ανίχνευσης βλαβών, πιστοποιούν την ικανότητα της προτεινόμενης μεθοδολογίας να διαγνώσει την κατάσταση της δοκού σε διάφορες θερμοκρασίες. Το πέμπτο κεφάλαιο ασχολείται με ειδικά θέματα μοντελοποίησης των "γενικευμένων" VARX . Ιδιαίτερη προσοχή δίνεται στην μελέτη Σωρευμένων VARX (P-VARX) και CCP-VARX μοντέλων. Σε αντιστοιχία με τα μοντέλα FP, αναπτύσσονται εκτιμήτριες LS και ML, ενώ στην συνέχεια μελετώνται οι ιδιότητές τους. Επιπλέον, καθορίζονται οι συνθήκες που εξασφαλίζουν την αναγνωρισιμότητα των μοντέλων P-VARX και CCP-VARX. Μελετώνται επίσης και οι σχέσεις που συνδέουν τις δομές των μοντέλων P-VARX και CCP-VARX με τα FP-VARX ως προς την παραμετροποίησή τους και την ακρίβεια που επιτυγχάνουν. Επιπλέον, μελετάται και η σχέση των παραπάνω μοντέλων με τα συμβατικά VARX. Η αποτίμηση των γενικευμένων μοντέλων VARX αναφορικά με το πλήθος των εκτιμώμενων παραμέτρων και την ακρίβεια που επιτυγχάνουν εξακριβώνεται μέσω προσομοιώσεων Monte Carlo.

Full textThe main objectives of this thesis were the development of model-based strategies for improving the performance of a high-cell density recombinant Escherichia coli fed-batch fermentation. The construction of a mathematical model framework as well as the derivation of optimal and adaptive control laws were used to accomplish these tasks. An on-line data acquisition system was also developed for an accurate characterization of the process and for the implementation of the control algorithms. The mathematical model of the process is composed of mass balance equations to the most relevant state variables of the process. Kinetic equations are based on the three possible metabolic pathways of the microorganism: glucose oxidation, fermentation of glucose and acetate oxidation. A genetic algorithm was used to derive the kinetic structure and to estimate both yield and kinetic coefficients of the model, minimizing the normalized quadratic differences between simulated and real values of the state variables. After parameter estimation, a sensitivity function analysis was applied to evaluate the influence of the various parameters on model behavior. Sensitivity functions revealed the sensitivity of the state variables to variations in each model parameter. Thus, essential parameters were selected and the model could be re-written in a simplified version that could also describe accurately experimental data. A system for the on-line monitoring of the major state variables was also developed. Glucose and acetate concentrations were measured with a developed Flow Injection Analysis system, while the carbon dioxide and oxygen transfer rates were calculated from data obtained with exhaust gas analysis. The fermentation culture weight was also continuously assessed with a balance, allowing the use of more precise mass-based concentrations, while environmental variables like pH, dissolved oxygen and temperatures were controlled and assessed via a Digital Control Unit. The graphical programming environment LabVIEW was used to acquire and integrate these variables in a supervisory computer, allowing the performance of integrated monitoring and control of the process. A model-based adaptive linearizing control law was derived for the regulation of acetate concentration during fermentations. The non-linear model was subjected to transformations in order to obtain a linear behavior for the control loop when a non-linear control is applied. The implementation of the control law was performed through a C script embedded in the supervisory LabVIEW program. Finally, two optimization techniques for the maximization of biomass concentration were compared: a first order gradient method and a stochastic method based on the biological principle of natural evolution, using a genetic algorithm. The former method revealed less efficient concerning to the computed maximum, and dependence on good initial values.
A presente tese teve como principais objectivos o desenvolvimento de estratégias baseadas em modelos para melhorar o desempenho da fermentação em modo semi-continuo em altas densidades celulares de Escherichia coil recombinada. Para o efeito, foi construído um modelo matemático representativo do processo e a partir deste foram desenvolvidos algoritmos de controlo óptimo e adaptativo. De forma a possibilitar a implementação de leis de controlo em linha e a caracterização do processo fermentativo, foi desenvolvido um sistema informático de aquisição e envio de dados. O modelo matemático representativo do processo em estudo foi elaborado tendo por base as equações dinâmicas de balanço mássico para as variáveis de estado mais relevantes, contemplando as três possíveis vias metabólicas do microrganismo. A estrutura cinética, bem como os parâmetros do modelo foram determinados por recurso a uma abordagem sistemática tendo por base a minimização das diferenças quadráticas entra dados reais e dados simulados, com recurso a uma ferramenta de optimização estocástica denominada de Algoritmos Genéticos. Após a etapa de identificação do modelo matemático, foram calculadas as sensibilidades relativas ao longo do tempo das variáveis de estado do modelo relativamente aos vários parâmetros determinados. Os resultados desta análise de sensibilidade possibilitaram avaliar a relevância de cada um dos parâmetros em causa, permitindo propor uma estrutura de modelo menos complexa, por exclusão dos parâmetros menos importantes. O sistema elaborado para a aquisição e envio em linha de dados da fermentação inclui um sistema de FIA (Flow Injection Analysis) desenvolvido para a medição das concentrações de acetato e glucose, uma unidade de controlo digital que controla as variáveis físicas mais relevantes para o processo, e um equipamento de Espectrometria de Massas para analisar as correntes gasosas de entrada e saída do fermentador. O sistema dispõe ainda de duas balanças, uma das quais para a aferição em linha do peso do caldo de fermentação, permitindo o use de concentrações mássicas que proporcionam resultados mais exactos. A aquisição e integração destas variáveis medidas são, efectuadas através de um software de supervisão elaborado no ambiente de programação gráfico LabVIEW. Adicionalmente, foi elaborada uma lei de controlo adaptativo linearizante para a regulação da concentração de acetato no meio de fermentação. A síntese da lei de controlo não linear foi efectuada por técnicas de geometria diferencial com linearização do sistema por retroacção de estado. A adaptação foi feita tendo por base a estimação de parâmetros variáveis no tempo, nos quais se concentram as incertezas do modelo. A implementação ao processo real da referida lei de controlo foi efectuada por recurso a um programa elaborado em C incluindo no programa supervisor elaborado em LabVIEW. Finalmente, para a optimização da quantidade de biomassa formada no final da fermentação por manipulação do caudal de alimentação, foram estudadas duas ferramentas de optimização: um método de gradiente e uma ferramenta baseada em Algoritmos Genéticos. Esta última revelou-se mais eficaz tanto na convergência para o valor óptimo, como na estimativa inicial fornecida.
