On the Three-Tank Aquaponic Configuration

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose a mathematical model representing the hydraulic behavior of a generic three-tank aquaponic system, capable to support future research on optimized sizing and suited control algorithms. The components of the system are a fish tank, a hydroponic reservoir, and a multi-task buffer water tank. The mathematical model is structural, representing the water-tanks and the water-flows between them, by differential equations, implemented in Matlab-Simulink.
