Abstract:
With the increasing complexity and scale of activated sludge process (ASP), it is quite challenging to coordinate the performance indices with different time scales. To address this problem, a cooperative optimal controller (COC) is proposed to improve the operation performance in this paper. First, a cooperative optimal scheme is developed for designing the control system, where the different time-scale performance indices are formulated by two levels. Second, a data-driven surrogate-assisted optimization (DDSAO) algorithm is provided to optimize the cooperative objectives, where a surrogate model is established for evaluating the feasibility of optimal solutions based on the minimum squared error. Third, an adaptive predictive control strategy is investigated to derive the control laws for improving the tracking control performance. Finally, the proposed COC is tested on benchmark simulation model No. 1 (BSM1). The results demonstrate that the proposed COC is able to coordinate the multiple time-scale performance indices and achieve the competitive optimal control performance.
