Designing for Success
The shared model and cascade structure of MACSoptimizer offers several benefits
that keep the application online, earning money. First, the optimization framework
supports a lower level plant control solution that is broken into several smaller,
easy to tune MACS applications. Similarly, the cascade structure does not require
all regulatory loops or MACS controllers to be active.
Provided degrees of freedom are available, MACSoptimizer will calculate an optimum
plant state and send directives that move the plant toward an optimal operating
point.
