Abstract

This paper presents an integrated simulation and optimization modelling approach in order to provide the optimal configuration for the large scale water supply system (LSWSS) in real time. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has been chosen to handle the complex set of objectives and also being shown its effectiveness. The computation of control strategies by MPC uses a simplified model of the network dynamics. The use of the combined approach of optimization and simulation contributes to making sure that the effect of more complex dynamics, better represented by the simulation model, may be taken into account. Coordination between simulator and optimizer works in a feedback scheme, from which both real-time interaction and also extensive validation of the proposed solution have been realized by realistic demonstrations. The Catalunya regional water network has been used as the case study.
