Energy optimization of the urban drainage system by integrated real-time control during wet and dry weather conditions
An extension of the frequently applied equal filling degree control algorithm is proposed for integrated control of sewer system and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Under dry weather conditions (DWC), this control synchronizes sewer storage volume activation at pumping stations (PS) throughout the sewer system with the intermittent aeration at the WWTP. This is in contrast with the frequently advocated influent load equalization at WWTPs. The concept is demonstrated on a case study using an integrated system composed of detailed models for sewer system and WWTP where it reveals considerable potential for energy savings and effluent quality improvement. Moreover, the integrated control allows for the reduction of combined sewer overflows during wet weather events and decreased sedimentation potential in the sewer system. Neither weather predictions nor structural changes at the WWTP or in the sewer system are required. The control concept is applicable to about 50 Flemish WWTPs.
