This paper aims to develop a smart method for designing PVs by optimizing the auto-consumption of oxidation tanks in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). . Wastewater treatment plants serve approximately 75% of Americans—more than 248 million people. However, many people do not recognize the energy burden these facilities create, which can be more than 30% of a municipality's energy bill. Most of this energy comes from fossil fuels. With rising energy. . Within the industry's transition to a circular economy, sustainable wastewater treatment and recovery should be reached without excessive strain on limited energy supplies and by decreasing fossil energy consumption.
