Speech Title: Multi-objective dynamic collaborative optimization for the municipal wastewater treatment process

Abstract: Municipal wastewater treatment is an effective way to protect the environment and realize water resource recycling. However, due to the multi-processes, multi-working conditions, time-varying and other characteristics of municipal wastewater treatment process, optimal control based on a single scale, a single level, and a single goal cannot guarantee the optimum of the overall operation. Multi-objective collaborative optimization control achieves multi-objective optimization between local and global, short-term and long-term, and efficiency and safety in the municipal wastewater treatment process by constructing performance indicators at different time scales and designing a multi-conflict objective dynamic optimization method. It solves the problem of real-time dynamic optimization setting of key variables in the municipal wastewater treatment process, and effectively reduces the operating cost.
