Intelligent Control/Operational Strategies in WWTPs through an Integrated Q-Learning Algorithm with ASM2d-Guided Reward
The operation of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a typical complex control problem, with nonlinear dynamics and coupling effects among the variables, which renders the implementation of real-time optimal control an enormous challenge. In this study, a Q-learning algorithm with activated sludge model No. 2d-guided (ASM2d-guided) reward setting (an integrated ASM2d-QL algorithm) is proposed, and the widely applied anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (AAO) system is chosen as the research paradigm. The integrated ASM2d-QL algorithms equipped with a self-learning mechanism are derived for optimizing the control strategies (hydraulic retention time (HRT) and internal recycling ratio (IRR)) of the AAO system. To optimize the control strategies of the AAO system under varying influent loads, Q matrixes were built for both HRTs and IRR optimization through the pair of based on the integrated ASM2d-QL algorithm. 8 days of actual influent qualities of a certain municipal AAO wastewater treatment plant in June were arbitrarily chosen as the influent concentrations for model verification. Good agreement between the values of the model simulations and experimental results indicated that this proposed integrated ASM2d-QL algorithm performed properly and successfully realized intelligent modeling and stable optimal control strategies under fluctuating influent loads during wastewater treatment.
