Optimal salinity and water level control of water courses using Model Predictive Control

Worldwide, delta areas are under stress due to climate change. With rising sea<br/>levels and decreasing freshwater availability, surface water salinization due to<br/>groundwater exfiltration is expected to increase in these low-lying areas. To<br/>counteract surface water salinization, freshwater diverted from rivers is used to flush...

Offset Free Model Predictive Control of an Open Water Reach

Model predictive control (MPC) is a powerful tool which is used more and more to managing water systems such as reservoirs over a short-term prediction horizon. However, due to unknown disturbances present in the water system and other uncertainties, there is always a mismatch between the model and the actual system. To overcome this mismatch...
