Abstract

This paper deals with the use of predictive optimal control techniques for flow management in a large water system including reservoirs, open channels for water transport, water treatment plants, pressurized water pipe networks, flow/pressure control elements and a telemetry/telecontrol system. Predictive control is used to generate flow control strategies from the sources to the consumer areas to meet future demands with appropriate pressure levels, optimizing operational goals such as network safety volumes and flow control stability.
