Closing the Loop in Water Supply Optimisation

چکیده
Implementation of sophisticated SCADA systems in the water industry has given plant operators unprecedented capability to monitor and control all aspects of water production and distribution from a centralized control centre. Sophisticated utilities recognize that SCADA need not be composed of one or more isolated “islands of automation” but can and should be a single system operating on a Wide Area Network, and integrated into their enterprise wide information technology system. The next logical step following implementation of a Scada system is to leverage off this investment using state of the art software to allow predictive as opposed to reactive control of the water system. Resulting benefits can include improving water quality through reduced water age, minimizing energy costs and improved system operations without compromising operational reliability. This paper will present a selected number of case histories from the US where innovative optimisation software has significantly improved operation and achieved rapid pay-back through energy cost savings..

متن کاملCurve-Graph Odometry: Removing the Orientation in Loop Closure Optimisation Problems
In robot odometry and SLAM applications the real trajectory is estimated incrementally. This produces an accumulation of errors which gives raise to a drift in the trajectory. When revisiting a previous position this drift becomes observable and thus it can be corrected by applying loop closing techniques. Ultimately a loop closing process leads to an optimisation problem where new constraints ...
متن کاملCurve-graph odometry: Orientation-free error parameterisations for loop closure problems
During incremental odometry estimation in robotics and vision applications, the accumulation of estimation error produces a drift in the trajectory. This drift becomes observable when returning to previously visited areas, where it is possible to correct it by applying loop closing techniques. Ultimately a loop closing process leads to an optimisation problem where new constraints between poses...
