To this end, different variants of NMPC are applied to simulation models of single-train MBR systems in order to demonstrate the technical feasibility of this concept and assess the economic impact of NMPC to full-scale systems.The application of economic NMPC to the model of a single-train MBR system under nominal conditions shows that the electricity cost of single-train MBR systems can be reduced by up to 7-10 LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)3 ; PUB:(DE-HGF)11 UR - https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/565926 ER -
