Convex optimization of bioprocesses
Josh Taylor, Alain Rapaport, Denis Dochain
We optimize a general model of bioprocesses, which is nonconvex due to the microbial growth in the biochemical reactors. We formulate a convex relaxation and give conditions guaran…

Second-order cone optimization of the gradostat
Josh Taylor, Alain Rapaport
We maximize the production of biogas in a gradostat at steady state. The physical decision variables are the water, substrate, and biomass entering each tank and the flows through…

Optimal Water-Power Flow Problem: Formulation and Distributed Optimal Solution
Ahmed S. Zamzam, Emiliano Dall'Anese, Changhong Zhao +2
This paper formalizes an optimal water-power flow (OWPF) problem to optimize the use of controllable assets across power and water systems while accounting for the couplings betwee…
