Overordnede kursusmål
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.
