摘要

Large-scale microalgae cultivation holds great potential for producing high-value products and advanced biofuels. A crucial area of interest is the modeling of reactors to allow for better prediction and control of cultivations. This review paper summarizes the currently reported modeling approaches for microalgae cultivations in the literature, focusing specifically on closed outdoor cultivations. It summarizes the challenges of modeling these cultivations and the factors affecting microalgal growth. It also presents the currently existing models in the literature for parameters such as light incidence, temperature, nutrients, and carbon source, and finally, the methods for combining these effects in the models. 14 different models for the effect of light intensity reported in 32 different papers are discussed. These models are organized into families and each parameter is mathematically analyzed to provide better insight as to their meaning. Finally, the challenges the field currently faces are further discussed in the concluding remarks.
