Electro-membrane Bioreactor Combined Solar Powered Processes: MATLAB Modelling

OpenAlex · English

In this study, it is researched that could use (PV) panel for solar energy instead of DC power supply used in leachate treatment by submerged electro membrane bioreactor for Antalya in Turkey. The study was made the analysis and modeling by MATLAB Simulink of electric energy obtained solar powered or PV panels and present an engineering approach. SMEBR was operated under electrokinetic conditions at a current density of 24 mA/cm2 (11,5 A), exposure time 3+3 minutes. As a result, in the light of SMEBR electrokinetic experimental results, it was found that a pair of PV panels connected in parallel provide 11.5 A for the SMEBR process for this region. In obtained modelling, it was determined the number of panels increases dependent on the amount of volume. Also, it was understood that PV system can work without battery via a control mechanism turn off the system, and it provides direct current. If a battery is added to the system, it can continue treatment without interruption. But since this system will run for about six minutes, no battery cost will be required.
