CasADi; in turn; has been interfaced with ACADO Toolkit; enabling users to define optimal control problems using Modelica and Optimica specifications; and use solve using direct multiple shooting. In addition; a collocation algorithm targeted at solving largescale DAE constrained dynamic optimization problems has been implemented. This implementation explores CasADi’s Python and IPOPT interfaces; which offer a convenient; yet highly efficient environment for development of optimization algorithms. The algorithms are evaluated using industrially relevant benchmark problems.
