Sewage treatment as a high energy consumption industry, its electricity consumption accounts for 3 % of the total electricity consumption of society. That means significant greenhouse gas emissions. In the context of China's goal of "reaching carbon peak by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060", reducing the energy consumption of wastewater treatment systems has emerged as an important issue in recent years. In this paper, the GPS-X simulation software was employed to conduct a simulation study of a modified Anoxic-Aerobic-Oxic waste water treatment plant (WWTP) in Wuhan, and the response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to ascertain the interactive effects of DO, IRF, ERR, and SD on the effluent quality, thereby identifying the operational parameters that minimize energy consumption while maintaining satisfactory effluent quality...
