This paper addresses the implementation of economic-oriented model predictive controllers
for the dynamic real-time optimization of the operation of wastewater treatment plants …

Wastewater treatment is an integral component in the sustainable development of our
society. Optimal control and operation is critical to the efficiency and economics of a …

Optimization and control strategies are necessary to keep wastewater treatment plants
(WWTPs) operating in the best possible conditions, maximizing effluent quality with the …

The paper proposes an approach to designing the control structure and algorithms for
optimising control of integrated wastewater treatment plant-sewer systems (IWWTS) under a …

This paper describes a procedure to find the best controlled variables in an economic sense
for the activated sludge process in a wastewater treatment plant, despite the large load …

Activated sludge wastewater treatment processes are difficult to be controlled because of
their complex and nonlinear behavior, however, the control of the dissolved oxygen level in …

Control of the WWTP is not a trivial task sinos the unit is nonlinear, features large time
constants and delays, and interaction between variables is important. Model Predictive …

In this work, we consider the distributed economic model predictive control (EMPC) of a
wastewater treatment plant described by Benchmark Simulation Model No. 1 and compare …

The BSM1 (Benchmark Simulation Model N° 1) has become the standard simulation tool for
performance assessment of control techniques applied to wastewater treatment plants …

In this paper, we consider the problem of economic model predictive control of wastewater
treatment plants based on model reduction. We apply two model approximation methods to …
