Using mathematical models to track phosphorus in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant by Molefe, Lihlonono Hopewell

“…The two operational strategies were simulated and evaluated using performance indices (PI's: operational cost index (OCI) and effluent quality index (EQI)) derived from a previous investigation by the International Water Association (IWA) benchmark simulation modelling task group (Copp, 2002, Nopenset al., 2010). …”

Multi-agent analysis of industrial networks : a South African bio-energy case study by Malan, Rene

“…In this thesis it is argued that this understanding can be gained through modelling and simulation of such networks, where existing toolkits include simulators and/or optimisers, as well as an array of "soft systems" approaches, including multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). …”

Optimal energy management for a grid-tied solar PV-battery microgrid: A reinforcement learning approach by Muriithi, Grace

“…The performance of the proposed method is evaluated with differently fluctuating load profiles, i.e., slow, medium, and fast. Simulation results substantiated the efficacy of the proposed method as the algorithm was established to learn from experience to raise the battery state of charge and optimally shift loads from a one-time instance, thus supporting the utility grid in reducing aggregate peak load. …”

Feasibility of converting existing residential buildings to net zero-energy buildings in Egypt by Albadry, Somaya

“…The research suggests the nZEB (net zero-energy buildings) methodology as a possible solution for the problem and provides a guideline to be used among the rest of existing building types. The research utilizes energy simulation to validate its initial assumptions and to test the feasibility of the proposed guideline. …”
