Model Predictive Control of Water Level and Salinity in Coastal Areas

POLDERS are low-lying and artificially drained areas surrounded bywater storage canals. In low-lying delta areas such as theMississippi delta in Louisiana (USA), the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta (Bangladesh), or the Rhine-Meuse delta (The Netherlands), polders experience surface water salinization problem due to saline groundwater exfiltration,...

Model Predictive Control of Open Water Systems with Mobile Operators

In this master thesis, the recently introduced Mobile Model Predictive Control (MoMPC) approach for open water systems with uncertain dynamics is discussed, where there are no sensors or actuators installed in the system that would allow for a fully automatic operation. MoMPC is a configuration of Model Predictive Control (MPC) that explicitly...

Model Predictive Control for Operational Water Management: A Case Study of the Dutch Water System

Water is needed everywhere to satisfy domestic, agricultural and industrial water demands, to maintain navigation systems, and to preserve healthy and sustainable ecosystems. In order to protect us from floods and to reallocate water resources in a man-made environment, the 'hardware', water-related structures, is constructed in many water...

Optimal Control of Water Systems Under Forecast Uncertainty: Robust, Proactive, and Integrated

Water systems consist of natural and man-made objects serving multiple essential purposes. They are affected by many types of meteorological disturbances. In order to deal with these disturbances and to serve the desired objectives, infrastructures have been built and managed by societies for specific purposes. Given a water system, and its...
