Constructing a smart framework for supplying the biogas energy in green buildings using an integration of response surface methodology, artificial intelligence and petri net modelling

Abstract

Nowadays, energy crisis is considered an essential active issue for future urbanization in megacities. While the rate of population growth increases, the volume of municipal solid waste production increases significantly. This highlights the need of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for both developed and developing countries. This paper constructs a novel smart framework for supplying biogas energy. Our study is applicable for fields of waste management and energy supply in green buildings. The proposed framework integrates the Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Petri net modeling. In this regard, the AI techniques including the Random Tree (RT), Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and, Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) are employed. In addition, for creating the optimum condition, a dynamic control system using the Petri Net modeling is applied. Among all machine learning methods, ANFIS with 0.99 correlation coefficient had the best accuracy for Accumulated Biogas Production (ABP) based on effective factors. Finally, the main findings of this paper are to introduce a novel framework for addressing different scientific issues such as supplying the clean energy in green buildings, the development of a smart and sustainable biogas production control system, integration of solid waste management with the SDGs in green buildings.
