Abstract:
The problem of fixed-profile load scheduling is considered for
large-scale irrigation channels. Based on the analysis of the special
structure of a channel under decentralised control, a predictive model
is built on a pool-by-pool basis and a decomposition strategy of the
scheduling problem is provided. The decomposition avoids excessive
memory requirements in building the predictive model of the controlled
plant and solving the formulated optimisation problem.
