Abstract
A simulation benchmark is applied to a number of respirometry-based control strategies. The benchmark is a platform-independent simulation environment defining a plant layout, a simulation model, influent loads, test procedures and evaluation criteria. The purpose for defining a benchmark is to create a general simulation environment for evaluating and comparing different control strategies. In the paper we describe the definition of a general benchmark for the evaluation of control strategies in wastewater treatment plants and identify the features of the benchmark which need adjustment to make it applicable to a particular family of control strategies, namely those based on the measurement of respiration rate.
