Modeling, Control and Optimization of Water Systems: Systems Engineering Methods for Control and Decision Making Tasks - Hardcover

 
9783642160257: Modeling, Control and Optimization of Water Systems: Systems Engineering Methods for Control and Decision Making Tasks

Synopsis

This book provides essential background knowledge on the development of model-based real-world solutions in the field of control and decision making for water systems. It presents system engineering methods for modelling surface water and groundwater resources as well as water transportation systems (rivers, channels and pipelines). The models in turn provide information on both the water quantity (flow rates, water levels) of surface water and groundwater and on water quality. In addition, methods for modelling and predicting water demand are described. Sample applications of the models are presented, such as a water allocation decision support system for semi-arid regions, a multiple-criteria control model for run-of-river hydropower plants, and a supply network simulation for public services.
