Optimizing Bioreactors by Extremum Seeking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optimization of the operation of biological reactors is an interesting non-linear problem whose solution o!ers potential economic bene"t. We apply a peak seeking method to approach the maximum biomass production rate in a continuous stirred tank bioreactor. Two models, Monod and Haldane, are investigated and it is shown by simulation that the peak seeking scheme achieves optimization for both cases. A stabilizing feedback controller with a washout "lter is designed to extend the operating range for the Haldane model. Copyright ( 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Event Software Sensor and Adaptive Extremum Seeking Alternatives for Optimizing a Class of Fed-batch Bioreactors
Optimization and control in spite of plant uncertainties is always a challenge, especially if additional constraints about measurements are present. Here, two different approaches to solve this problem are compared using simulation. They aim at reducing the operation time of bioreactors with inhibitory behavior where measuring the reaction rate is not feasible. The “Adaptive Extremum Seeking” p...
متن کاملAdaptive Extremum Seeking Control of Continuous Stirred Tank Bioreactors
In this paper, we present an adaptive extremum seeking control scheme for continuous stirred tank bioreactors. The proposed adaptive extremum seeking approach utilizes the structure information of the kinetics of the bioreactors to construct a seeking algorithm that drives the system states to the desired set-points that extremize the value of an objective function. Lyapunov’s stability theorem...
متن کاملAdaptive extremum seeking control of continuous stirred tank bioreactors with unknown growth kinetics
In this paper, we present an adaptive extremum seeking control scheme for continuous stirred tank bioreactors. We assume limited knowledge of the growth kinetics. An adaptive learning technique is introduced to construct a seeking algorithm that drives the system states to the desired set-points that maximizes the value of an objective function. Lyapunov’s stability theorem is used in the desig...
متن کاملDesign of Extremum Seeking Control with a Continuous-Time Accelerator
In this paper we are concerned with designing a continuous-time extremum seeking control law for nonlinear systems. This is a modification of a standard extremum seeking contoller. It is equipped with a continuoustime accelerator to the original one to be aimed at achieving the maximum operating point more rapidly. This accelerator is designed by making use of the Chebyshev polynomial identific...
متن کاملLie bracket approximation of extremum seeking systems
Extremum seeking feedback is a powerful method to steer a dynamical system to an extremum of a partially or completely unknown map. It often requires advanced system-theoretic tools to understand the qualitative behavior of extremum seeking systems. In this paper, a novel interpretation of extremum seeking is introduced.We show that the trajectories of an extremum seeking system can be approxim...
