- In this work we present a novel methodology to deal with the optimal performance of raceways (open-channel ponds where the circulating wastewater, during its purification process, is used to grow algae that will be used as a source for the production of bioenergy). The maximization of algal productivity is addressed here within an optimal control framework for partial differential equations. Thus, after introducing a rigorously detailed mathematical formulation of the real-world control problem, we prove the existence of optimal solutions, we propose a numerical algorithm for its computational resolution and, finally, we show some results for the numerical optimization of a realistic case.
