Cybernetica has been a partner in the following research programmes:
Reactor technology in the petrochemical and polymer industry (REPP).Duration: 1996 – 2002. Partners: The five process companies Borealis, Norsk Hydro, Reichhold (former Jotun Polymers), Dynea (former Dyno) and Statoil, and the four R&D partners SINTEF (project coordinator), NTNU, Tel-Tek and Cybernetica. The Norwegian Research Council supported the project. Project objective: To improve product qualities, process economy and environmental impact by developing quantitative models and tools for improved operation, control and design of chemical reactors. The foundation of Cybernetica was partly a result of this project. Pilot implementations of nonlinear MPC-based reactor control strategies (Reactor-MPC)Duration: 2000 – 2002. Partners: Norsk Hydro ASA, Organic Power ASA and Cybernetica AS (project coordinator). The Norwegian Research Council supported the project. Objective: to industrialize recent results from previous R&D projects (including REPP), through industrial implementations of MPC-applications using nonlinear first principles |
Model based control of batch processes (Batch-MPC).Duration: 2003 – 2005. Partners: Dynea, Hydro Polymers, Amersham Health and Cybernetica (project coordinator). The Norwegian Research Council supported the project. Objective: To develop methodology and solutions for model based control of batch processes, and to demonstrate the new technology through pilot implementations on industrial batch processes (typically reactors) at sites owned by the participating batch-producing companies. PROmoting and structuring Multidiciplinary Academic – industrial collaboration in research and training through SME TeCHnology developers (PROMATCH).A Marie Curie Research Training Network. Duration: 2004 – 2008. Partners: Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (NL, project coordinator), Cybernetica (N), Process Systems Enterprise (UK), NTNU (N), Imperial College (UK), Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (D), Technische Universiteit Delft (NL), and IPCOS (NL).
