Stochastic Model Predictive Control Approaches applied to Drinking Water Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 stochastic model predictive control (MPC) approaches, namely: chance-constrained MPC, tree-based MPC, and multiplescenarios MPC. A comparative assessment of these approaches is performed when they are applied to real case studies, specifically, a sector and an aggregate version of the Barcelona drinking water network in Spain.

Stochastic Model Predictive Control based on Gaussian Processes applied to Drinking Water Networks
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 confide...
متن کاملChance-Constrained Model Predictive Control for Drinking Water Networks
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...

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 describes the application of model-based predictive control (MPC) techniques to the supervisory flow management in large-scale drinking water networks including a telemetry/telecontrol system. MPC is used to generate flow control strategies (set-points for the regulatory controllers) from the sources to the consumer areas to meet future demands, optimizing performance indexes associa...
