Fifth Framework Program


WP7: Objectives

Supplying a simulation tool integrating the results of thematic workpackages 1 to 6

Model integration Simulator developmentand Validation


Models integration

The structure of the simulator has to cope with: the matter characteristics necessary for models the matter characteristics which are not used in the models

The interface must bring the models to life: ask the good questions in a language adapted

and give easy to use results

Seek consistency between phase models for the different treatment ways.


Work description: the different tasks

Task 1: Design of the simulator structure

Task 2: Model implementation for each channel

Task 3: Check for consistency both on available experimental and on theoretical data

Task 4: Definition of parameter estimation methods

Task 5: Description of sampling and analytical procedure

Task 6: Development of methods for parameter adjustment

Task 7: Consolidation between channels


WP7 Deliverables

Documented models for predicting material and energy

balance for all channels.

Documented models and databases for economic balance

calculation.

Software allowing the simulation of all possible

organisation of solid waste management.

Methodology, use and limits of the software;

Report generation options for different types of end-user.

Models or Workshops

To another level


Collection workshopTask 1


Simulation results

Streams characteristic

Output parameters of the models

End-users information easily useable filescompilation of the whole of the parameters and

of the data

Development of specific and convivial interfaces(in progress in coordination with the steering committee)

The need:

Deliverable D28

Task 1

ŒŽ


Two simulation methods

Direct simulation: prediction of streams, knowing input data and parameters of the models

Reverse simulation: adjustment of the parameters of the models so that the model predict existing situation

Supervisor of the simulation

Aim:To achieve global objectives permitting variation for some of parameters

Model implementation

In direct relation with WPs 4 to 6 (cf. had hoc presentations)

Technical meetings with WP’s leaders: Specification of the

biologicalthermalSorting, collection, transport

Development of two models in progress: Collection/transport (in coordination with USTUTT). Landfill.

Meeting planed with WP3 in July Economical models.

Task 2


Check for consistency...

Depending of the other workpackages results: Models specifications Models parameters

Real starting with the case studies (WP9): Available data are known for the three cities. They will be supplemented by default values if needed (waste matrix).

...both on available experimental and on theoretical data

Task 3


3 tasks gathered in only one

Tasks 4 to 6

Aim:To define methods to use the models:

- procedures for parameters estimation

- set the limits of parameters values

- give an idea on the quality of model’s predictions according

to the input data

Deliverables D25 and D26


Main difficulty

Integration = light on water:

transfer from WP 1 to 6

a part may be reflected

a part may be absorbed


Conclusion

The structure of the simulator will allow to integrate most of the R&D work,

A preliminary version will be available for the case studies,

WP8 has started to:explain the tool to non-project members,take into account the needs expressed by the steering committee
