Multi-Objective Optimal Control of Wastewater Treatment Processes Constrainted by Energy-Saving and Effluent Qualities

Considering the high energy consumption problem in the wastewater treatment process, this paper proposes a multi-objective optimization control scheme based on NSGA-II algorithm. The proposed scheme can not only ensures meet effluent quality requirements but also can achieves energy cost savings. This method takes the aeration energy consumption and pumping energy consumption of the system as the optimization goal with the effluent water quality being the constraint condition. At the same time, the adaptive fuzzy PID controller is designed to ensure the control accuracy and stability of the controlled system. The results of simulation experiments validated in benchmark simulation platform, BSM1, show that, compared with PI control and single-objective optimization control, the proposed optimization scheme in this paper can achieve the desired quality of the effluent water withmore energy-saving.
