Microalgae cultures are currently one of the most promising third generation biofuel feedstocks. Microalgae have a high photosynthetic rate, so this crop produces a high amount of biomass (Chinnasamy et al., 2010). On the other hand, automatic crop monitoring and control is nowadays one of the main research trends in agriculture (Xiang & Tian, 2011). Therefore, the use of automatic control systems for microalgae growth may be regarded as a particularly important application of this technology. The goal of this work is to present a novel advanced control system aimed at optimizing the microalgae cultivation process.
