Realistic industrial process is usually a dynamic process with uncertainty. Chance constraints are applicable to industrial process modeling under uncertain conditions, where constraints cannot be strictly met, or need not be fully met. Therefore, chance constrained dynamic optimization (CCDO) formulation is available to address realistic industrial process issues. Because of the dynamic and uncertainty, chance constrained dynamic optimization problems (CCDOPs) arising from practical industries are hard to cope with. In this article, a novel CCDO method is proposed to resolve this issue, where an adaptive sample average approximation method, a control vector parameterization method, and a state constraint handling strategy are integrated. Specially, a hybrid intelligent optimization algorithm is introduced to realize a global and efficient optimization performance. The proposed method is applied to CCDOPs modified by dynamic optimization standard test functions and industrial experiments to demonstrate its effectiveness. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good performance in solving CCDOPs.
