Dynamic modeling of the microalgae cultivation phase for energy production in open raceway ponds and flat panel photobioreactors

A dynamic model of microalgae cultivation phase is presented in this work. Two cultivation technologies are taken into account: the open raceway pond and the flat panel photobioreactor. For each technology, the model is able to evaluate the microalgae areal and volumetric productivity and the energy...
