... control (RHC) algorithm is developed to reliably compute near-optimal control for charging and discharging the stratified sensible cool storage reservoir of a chiller plant. The algorithm provides a constant coefficient-of-performance (or cost-per-ton-hour) 24 h dispatch plan under which chillers operate...

.... Especially, an optimal control strategy was developed for handling slug flow and optimizing the system performance in terms of reduced or eliminated liquid carry-over or gas carry-under. The developed strategies have been used for the design of several hundreds of GLCC applications, currently in operation...
