Reducing wireless control communication for a water irrigation system

For this thesis we have compared communication times of different control schemes on a wireless control network for a water irrigation system. Therefore a control application which can run different protocols was created. We have shown that a significant reduction of communication time can be achieved by using event-triggered control (ETC), and...

Wireless Event-Triggered Control for Water Irrigation Systems

The application of optimal control structures for water irrigation systems (WISs) can be enabled by applying wireless event-triggered control (ETC). The term WIS, is used to describe open-water channels, that are mainly used to supply water to farmers all around the world. The water levels in these channels need to be controlled, but because of...
