Abstract
In order to provide safety against high sea water levels, in many low-lying
countries on the one hand dunes are maintained at a certain safety level and
dikes are built, while on the other hand large control structures that can be
controlled dynamically are constructed. Currently, these structures are often
operated purely locally, without coordination on actions between different
structures. Automatically coordinating the actions is particularly difficult,
since open water systems are complex, hybrid systems, in the sense that
continuous dynamics (e.g., the evolution of the water levels) are mixed with
discrete events (e.g., the opening or closing of barriers). In low-lands, this
complexity is increased further due to bi-directional water flows resulting
from backwater effects and interconnectivity of flows in different parts of
river deltas. In this paper, we propose a model predictive control (MPC)
approach that is aimed at automatically coordinating the different actions.
Hereby, the hybrid nature is explicitly addressed. In order to reduce the
computational effort required to solve the hybrid MPC problem we propose to use
TIO-MPC, where TIO stands for time-instant optimization. A simulation study
illustrates the potential of the proposed controller in comparison with the
current setup in the Rhine-Meuse delta in The Netherlands.
