Cuckoo Search Approach for Parameter Identification of an Activated Sludge Process

A parameter identification problem for a hybrid model is presented. The latter describes the operation of an activated sludge process used for waste water treatment. Parameter identification problem can be considered as an optimization one by minimizing the error between simulation and experimental...
