Abstract
Key findings
- The committee of ANNs outperformed a single ANN in predicting hydrogen production, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.2% compared to 2.5%.
- The model was able to capture the effects of operating parameters such as pH, temperature, and substrate concentration on hydrogen production.
- The results suggest that the committee of ANNs can be used as a tool for optimizing MEC design and operation for biohydrogen production.
