摘要:AbstractThis paper presents a possible approach for the dynamic optimization of biomass productivity in continuous cultures of microalgae, using light intensity as the manipulated variable. Extremum seeking control is applied as the real-time optimization algorithm to evaluate feasibility. Two different models of microalgae growth (of different complexities) were used in this study, with parameters representative of the Isochyris galbana specie. Results showed relatively good performances of the optimization procedure despite parameter variations and the presence of measurement noise.
