Development of a Model for Design and Control of a CELSS 1999-01-2043

When discussing how to design and control a Closed Ecology Life Support System (CELSS), element-level calculations should be performed on materials circulating in the system. Performing these calculations through computer simulation allows great advantages, especially when analyzing a CELSS for applications having various forms at experimental facilities. In the present study, models for analyzing the balance and circulation of CELSS materials are developed, and material balance analysis software for CELSS (MBASC) and material circulation analysis software for CELSS (MCASC) are created using these models. The present paper proposes a new method for integrating an entire CELSS and controlling material circulation through the analysis of CELSS material circulation using the proposed software.
