Abstract

Two formulations of the stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) problem for the control of large-scale drinking water networks are presented in this chapter. The first formulation makes use of the assumption that the uncertain future water demands follows some known continuous probability distribution while at the same time we allocate certain risk (probability) for the state constraints to be violated. The second approach, namely, the tree-based stochastic MPC approach, does not require any assumptions to be taken on the probability distribution of the demand estimates, but brings about a complexity that is harder to handle by conventional computational tools and calls for more elaborate algorithms and the possible utilization of sophisticated devices.
