Title
Metaheuristic Control Of Substrate Concentration For An Activated Sludge Process
Abstract
In this paper, a two-stage linear dynamic control scheme, using a metaheuristic approach, will be developed to control the effluent substrate concentration of an ASP. In the first stage, a static output feedback controller will be designed, using only measurements of the oxygen concentration. In the second stage, an asymptotic non-linear estimator of the substrate concentration will be used and the estimate will be fed back through a PI controller. In particular, the model of the ASP will be presented both in its non-linear and linearised form. Based on the linearised approximation, a static inner loop controller will be designed using a metaheuristic search algorithm for the computation of the controller parameters. Following, an outer PI controller will be designed based on the linearised model, again using a metaheuristic search algorithm in order to compensate the influence of the non-linearities when the static controller is applied to the non-linear model. The performance of the overall closed loop system will be illustrated through simulation experiments.
