| Résumé : | A macroscopic model describing the influence of nitrogen on a fed-batch baker[U+05F3]s yeast production process was used for the determination of optimal operating conditions in the sense of a production criterion. To this end, two different approaches were used: a control vector parameterization approach with mesh refinement and an approach based on the mathematical analysis of optimal operating policy (semi-analytical approach). The results of the two approaches lead to the determination of similar optimal operation conditions, which have been implemented for a new experimental phase. Moreover, these optimal conditions are in agreement with the profiles obtained by industrial manufacturers through an empirical optimization of the process (trial and error method). The model predictions are in good accordance with experimental data. This conclusion was supported by an uncertainty analysis on the model outputs with respect to the parameter estimation errors. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. |
