Abstract
This work proposes an economic model predictive control (EMPC) strategy in the linear parameter varying (LPV) framework for the control of dissolved oxygen concentrations in the aerated reactors of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). A reduced model of the complex nonlinear plant is represented in a quasi-linear parameter varying (qLPV) form to reduce computational burden, enabling the real-time operation. To facilitate the formulation of the time-varying parameters which are functions of system states, as well as for feedback control purposes, a moving horizon estimator (MHE) that uses the qLPV WWTP model is proposed. The control strategy is investigated and evaluated based on the ASM1 simulation benchmark for performance assessment. The obtained results applying the EMPC strategy for the control of the aeration system in the WWTP of Girona (Spain) show its effectiveness.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an emerging pollutant commonly found in industrial wastewater, owing to its extensive usage as an additive in the manufacturing industry. PVA’s popularity has made wastewater treatment technologies for PVA degradation a popular research topic in industrial wastewater treatment. Although many PVA degradation technologies are studied in bench-scale processes, recent advancements in process optimization and control of wastewater treatment technologies such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) show the feasibility of these processes by monitoring and controlling processes to meet desired regulatory standards. These wastewater treatment technologies exhibit complex reaction mechanisms leading to nonlinear and nonstationary behavior related to variability in operational conditions. Thus, black-box dynamic modeling is a promising tool for designing control schemes since dynamic modeling is more complicated in terms of first principles and reaction mechanisms. This study seeks to provide a survey of process control methods via a comprehensive review focusing on PVA degradation methods, including biological and advanced oxidation processes, along with their reaction mechanisms, control-oriented dynamic modeling (i.e., state-space, transfer function, and artificial neural network modeling), and control strategies (i.e., proportional-integral-derivative control and predictive control) associated with wastewater treatment technologies utilized for PVA degradation.

Han K, Chen C, Chen M, Wang Z. Constrained Active Fault Tolerant Control Based on Active Fault Diagnosis and Interpolation Optimization. ENTROPY 2021; 23:e23080924. [PMID: 34441064 PMCID: PMC8391791 DOI: 10.3390/e23080924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A new active fault tolerant control scheme based on active fault diagnosis is proposed to address the component/actuator faults for systems with state and input constraints. Firstly, the active fault diagnosis is composed of diagnostic observers, constant auxiliary signals, and separation hyperplanes, all of which are designed offline. In online applications, only a single diagnostic observer is activated to achieve fault detection and isolation. Compared with the traditional multi-observer parallel diagnosis methods, such a design is beneficial to improve the diagnostic efficiency. Secondly, the active fault tolerant control is composed of outer fault tolerant control, inner fault tolerant control and a linear-programming-based interpolation control algorithm. The inner fault tolerant control is determined offline and satisfies the prescribed optimal control performance requirement. The outer fault tolerant control is used to enlarge the feasible region, and it needs to be determined online together with the interpolation optimization. In online applications, the updated state estimates trigger the adjustment of the interpolation algorithm, which in turn enables control reconfiguration by implicitly optimizing the dynamic convex combination of outer fault tolerant control and inner fault tolerant control. This control scheme contributes to further reducing the computational effort of traditional constrained predictive fault tolerant control methods. In addition, each pair of inner fault tolerant control and diagnostic observer is designed integratedly to suppress the robust interaction influences between estimation error and control error. The soft constraint method is further integrated to handle some cases that lead to constraint violations. The effectiveness of these designs is finally validated by a case study of a wastewater treatment plant model.

Abstract
This paper describes a design procedure for a collaborative control structure in Plant Wide Control (PWC), taking into account the existing controllable parameters as a novelty in the procedure. The collaborative control structure includes two layers, supervisory and regulatory, which are determined according to the dynamics hierarchy obtained by means of the Hankel matrix. The supervisory layer is determined by the main dynamics of the process and the regulatory layer comprises the secondary dynamics and controllable parameters. The methodology proposed is applied to a wastewater treatment plant, particularly to the Benchmark Simulation Model No 1 (BSM1) for the activated sludge process, comparing the results with the use of a Model Predictive Controller in the supervisory layer. For determining controllable parameters in the BSM1 control, a new specific oxygen mass transfer model in the biological reactor has been developed, separating the kLa volumetric mass transfer coefficient into two controllable parameters, kL and a.

Abstract
Two separate goals should be jointly pursued in wastewater treatment: nutrient removal and energy conservation. An efficient controller performance should cope with process uncertainties, seasonal variations and process nonlinearities. This paper describes the design and testing of a model predictive controller (MPC) based on neuro-fuzzy techniques that is capable of estimating the main process variables and providing the right amount of aeration to achieve an efficient and economical operation. This algorithm has been field tested on a large-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant of about 500,000 PE, with encouraging results in terms of better effluent quality and energy savings.
