Abstract :
A case study of a waste incineration plant operating close to optimality by using simple feed-back control schemes is presented. Using off-line optimization the structure of the optimization problem is exploited and a set of variables is found, such that if the process is controlled with those variables are at their setpoints, operation is near-optimal.
