Abstract
This paper proposes a real-time control framework for the control of
nationwide water systems, in particular in The Netherlands, consisting
of numerous rivers, canals, reservoirs, and lakes. These water systems
are of such a large scale that they cannot be controlled from a single
location taking into account all locally available sensors, actuators,
dynamics, and forecasts. Therefore, a framework is proposed in which
distributed model predictive control coordinates the actions of local
controllers. Results on two simulated interconnected regions
illustrate the operation of the framework.
