Abstract
Water networks are large-scale systems, consisting of many interacting
components. They are currently typically operated by local decentralized
controllers which receive set-points from human operators. We discuss how
communication among the local controllers can be included and in particular
propose the use of distributed model predictive control for enabling the local
controllers to determine set-points autonomously using communication and
coordination. We consider the control of a particular class of water networks,
viz. irrigation canals. A simulation study on a 7-reach irrigation canal
illustrates the potential of the proposed approach.
