PhD Courses in Denmark

This course aims to provide participants with an understanding of the theory and skills needed to make decisions related to on-line sensor selection in view of establishing closed-loop control on a model fermentation process (yeast). Participants will be introduced to the theory of process control, and will learn how to use model simulations to study the effect of applying control to a bioreactor. On-line sensor concepts will be introduced, and the participants will learn how to work with on-line data, first in terms of detecting outliers and replacing missing values, and then for classification.

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• - Implementation of a system of coupled differential equations on a yeast fermentation process
• - Simulation of a system of coupled differential equations on a yeast fermentation process
• - Gain knowledge about standard and advanced sensors
• - Apply control to a yeast fermentation process (in a simulation model)
• - Local sensitivity analysis
• - Missing value replacement and outlier detection in on-line data
• - Classification of datasets
• - Gain knowledge about standard and advanced sensors
