Abstract

Process systems engineering (PSE) covers a broad range of applications involving optimization amid uncertainty. These applications range from product development to chemical synthesis, process design, energy optimization, environmental management, and operational tasks such as scheduling, supply chain management, and control. Dealing with optimization under uncertainty poses significant challenges, requiring both optimization techniques and uncertainty analysis. This chapter introduces methods for quantifying uncertainty, sampling techniques for uncertainty analysis, and algorithms designed to tackle optimization problems in uncertain environments. Additionally, it explores the practical applications of these algorithms across various PSE areas.
