摘要
Anaerobic digestion (AD) models can be challenging to calibrate against real data due to limited practical identifiability, data scarcity, and model complexity. Weighted least squares objective functions and gradient-based solvers using finite differences are often used in literature, but result in suboptimal parameter estimates and large uncertainty bands. This paper identifies the parameters of a reduced-order ADM1 by comparing the frameworks of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and Bayesian inference (BI), and quantifies uncertainties of parameters and outputs. Multirate experimental data are taken from a lab-scale AD reactor fed with agricultural substrates and operated at organic loading rates of 3$\,$g VS $\mathrm{m^{-3}d^{-1}}$. Global optima are found via global and gradient-based local search algorithms using forward sensitivities. Enhanced scatter search provides the best global search results. These are refined by the Gauss-Newton algorithm as the best local search, which delivers $R^2$ values of 0.95 for acetic acid and 0.77 for biogas production. BI yields substantially narrower uncertainty bands than MLE and avoids the need for a global search by incorporating prior knowledge about parameter distributions. The search space is captured efficiently by log10 scaling of parameters. Algorithmic details on its implications are provided. Despite a high-resolution lab-scale dataset, the ADM1-specific inhibition parameter $K_\mathrm{I,nh3}$ is practically not identifiable with MLE, and shows a low output sensitivity, whereas a parameter for the effective ion concentration shows superb practical identifiabilty at high confidence with both MLE and BI. The present work lays a scalable base for calibration of nonlinear AD models by providing reliable simulations. It thus advances model-based monitoring and control applications of multirate processes such as agricultural AD plants.
