This paper deals with activated sludge processes state estimation using moving horizon approach. In order to decrease the high computing cost of searching the global minimum of the error criterion, a descent-like approach is used. An associated model is designed so as to respect a tradeoff between model complexity and accuracy. The results point out the interest of this approach for this process and are sufficiently advanced to think to implement it further on a semi-industrial pilot plant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
