Stochastic Model Predictive Control based on Gaussian Processes applied to Drinking Water Networks

چکیده
This paper focuses on developing a stochastic model predictive control (MPC) strategy based on Gaussian Processes (GPs) for propagating system disturbances in a receding horizon way. Using a probabilistic system representation, the state trajectories considering the influence of disturbances can be obtained through the uncertainty propagation by using GPs. This fact allows obtaining the confidence intervals for state evolutions over the MPC prediction horizon that are included into the MPC objective function and constraints. The feasibility of the proposed MPC strategy considering the incorporated results of disturbance forecasting is also discussed. Simulation results obtained from the application of the proposed approach to the Barcelona drinking water network (DWN) taking real demand data into account are presented. The comparison with the well-known certainty-equivalent MPC shows the effectiveness of the proposed stochastic MPC approach. Index Terms Stochastic Model Predictive Control, Gaussian Processes, Disturbance Forecasting, Drinking Water Networks.

Stochastic Model Predictive Control Approaches applied to Drinking Water Networks
Control of drinking water networks is an arduous task given their size and the presence of uncertainty in water demand. It is necessary to impose different constraints for ensuring a reliable water supply in the most economic and safe ways. To cope with uncertainty in system disturbances due to the stochastic water demand/consumption, and optimize operational costs, this paper proposes three st...
متن کاملGaussian-Process-Based Demand Forecasting for Predictive Control of Drinking Water Networks
This paper focuses on short-term water demand forecasting for predictive control of Drinking Water Networks (DWN) by using Gaussian Process (GP). For the predictive control strategy, system state prediction in a finite horizon are generated by a DWN model and demands are regarded as system disturbances. The goal is to provide a demand estimation within a given confidence interval. For the sake ...

This paper addresses a chance-constrained model predictive control (CC-MPC) strategy for the management of drinking water networks (DWNs) based on a finite horizon stochastic optimisation problem with joint probabilistic (chance) constraints. In this approach, water demands are considered additive stochastic disturbances with non-stationary uncertainty description, unbounded support and known (...

متن کاملStochastic Model Predictive Control for Water Transport Networks with Demand Forecast Uncertainty
Two formulations of the stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) problem for the control of large-scale drinking water networks are presented in this chapter. The first approach, named chance-constrained MPC, makes use of the assumption that the uncertain future water demands follows some known continuous probability distribution while at the same time certain risk (probability) for the state...
