Abstract
The river delta in The Netherlands consists of interconnected rivers and large
water bodies. Structures, such as large sluices and pumps, are available to
control the local water levels and flows. The national water board is
responsible for the management of the system. Its main management objectives
are: protection against overtopping of dikes due to high river flows and high
sea tides, supply of water during dry periods, and navigation. The system is,
due to its size, divided into several subsystems that are managed by separate
regional divisions of the national water board. Due to changes in local
land-use, local climate, and the need for energy savings, the currently
existing control systems have to be upgraded from local manual control schemes
to regional model predictive control (MPC) schemes. In principle, the national
objectives for the total delta require a centralized control approach
integrating all regional MPC schemes. However, such centralized control is on
the one hand not feasible, due to computational limitations, and on the other
hand unwanted, due to the existing regional structure of the organization of
the national water board. In this chapter the application of MPC is discussed
for both individual regional control and coordinated national control. Results
of a local MPC scheme applied to the actual water system of the North Sea
Canal/Amsterdam-Rhine Canal are presented and a framework for coordination
between several distributed MPC schemes is proposed.
