PyADM1

About

PyADM1 is a robust Python framework designed for the detailed modeling, simulation, and optimization of agricultural biogas plants. It leverages the Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 (ADM1) to provide high-fidelity simulations with a pure ODE system for numerical stability. The platform offers a modular approach to building complex plant configurations from diverse components, supports parallel scenario simulations for comprehensive analysis, and includes sophisticated online calibration capabilities. Furthermore, it integrates an MCP server, enabling automated plant model configuration through natural language, paving the way for advanced LLM-driven applications in biogas plant management.
