Abstract
In this paper, the problem of optimal choice of sensors and actuators is addressed. Given a functional encapsulating information of the desired performance and production economy the objective is to choose a control instrumentation from a given set to comply with its minimum. The objective of the work is twofold: reformulation of the business objectives into mathematical terms and providing solution to the given optimization. Commonly, there exist overall business objectives which dictate how a plant should be instrumented and operated either directly or indirectly. The work shows how to propagate a global objective to local subsystems. Particular focus is on a boiler in a power plant operated by Dong Energy. The business objectives have been propagated to the actuator level to allow for selection of an actuator configuration.
