Optimica---An Extension of Modelica Supporting Dynamic Optimization

In English In this paper, an extension of Modelica, entitled Optimica,
is presented. Optimica extends Modelica with language constructs
that enable formulation of dynamic optimization problems based on
Modelica models. There are several important design problems that
can be addressed by means of dynamic optimization, in a wide range
of domains. Examples include, minimum-time problems, parameter
estimation problems, and on-line optimization control strategies.
The Optimica extension is supported by a prototype compiler, the
Optimica compiler, which has been used successfully in case studies.
