Multivariable identification of an activated sludge process with subspace based algorithms

The objectives of this project are to identify a linear time-invariant dynamical model of an activated sludge process. Such a system is characterized by stiff dynamics, nonlinearities, time-variant parameters, recycles, multivariable with many cross-couplings and wide variations in the inflow and th...
