A novel economic optimal control strategy from CITIES / DTU Compute & Krüger A/S suggests that the power consumption in wastewater treatment can be flexible since the water is treated in large tanks with long retention times where specialized aeration equipment is repeatedly switched on and off.

By controlling these switching times with respect to nutrient concentrations, electricity consumption can be predicted and shifted in time and hence provide short-term demand-side flexibility.
The proposed principle is used to reduce the operating costs of a wastewater treatment plant by enabling the flexibility to distribute the aeration load to periods with less expensive power prices.
Highlights:
Significant cost savings for wastewater treatment by shifting power consumption
Favourable to exploit instantaneous price differences in multiple power markets
Optimal energy consumption of wastewater aeration using switching times
CITIES Innovation Center conduct projects on cloud-based solutions for research of energy data. All project are designed to handle the intelligent IT solutions of the center. These include three layers: a repository, a computational and an operation layer. Together the three are constituting the overall IT infrastructure of CITIES Innovation Center. The data repository (SE-Data), …
Watch the video at Energy Cluster Denmark’s webinar page: Video: A low-carbon society calls for fundamental changes in the energy system. Today energy systems are operated and planned so that the production follows the demand. However, an efficient implementation of a low-carbon society calls fora system where demand follows production. This highlights the need for …
DTU har sammen med det nationale danske Innovation Centre Denmark Boston udviklet en række forsknings-webinarer sammen med Ørsted, MIT og Tufts University i Boston samt Energinet og den nye forskningsklynge Energy Cluster Denmark. —- Internationalt samarbejde og deling af viden er forudsætningen, for at verdens lande kan opfylde klima-målsætningerne. Danmark og USA samarbejder meget forskningsmæssigt …
