The management of the urban water cycle (UWC) is a subject increasing interest because its social, economic, and environmental impact. most important issues include sustainable use limited resources reliability service to consumers with adequate quality pressure levels, as well drainage prevent flooding polluting discharges environment.
The efficient distribution of water is a subject major concern for utilities and authorities [1]. While some leaks in networks (WDNs) are unavoidable, one the main challenges improving efficiency drinking to minimize leaks. Leaks can cause significant economic losses fluid transportation extra costs final consumer due waste energy chemicals treatment plants. may also damage infrastructure third-party health risks. In many WDNs, leakage estimated account up 30% total amount extracted [2];...
The performance of a leak detection and location algorithm depends on the set measurements that are available in network. This work presents an optimization strategy maximizes diagnosability goal is to characterize determine sensor configuration guarantees maximum degree while cost satisfies budgetary constraint. To efficiently handle complexity distribution network efficient branch bound search based structural model used. However, order reduce even more size problem present proposes...
In this work, a novel approach is presented to solve the trajectory tracking problem for autonomous vehicles. This method based on use of cascade control where external loop solves position using Linear Parameter Varying - Model Predictive Control (LPV-MPC) and internal in charge dynamic vehicle LPV Quadratic Regulator technique designed via Matrix Inequalities (LPV-LMI-LQR). Both techniques an representation kinematic models vehicle. The main contribution LPV-MPC its ability calculate...
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Model-based fault detection relies on the use of a model to check consistency between predicted and measured (or observed) behavior system. However, there is always some mismatch modeled real process behavior. Then, any model-based algorithm should be robust against modeling errors. One possible approach take into account uncertainty include all in system parameters using an interval that allows...
This paper deals with the global control of Riera Blanca catchment in Barcelona sewer network using a predictive optimal approach. has been modelled conceptual modelling approach based on decomposing catchments subcatchments and representing them as virtual tanks. allows real-time model calibration network. The problem is solved optimal/predictive algorithm. To implement catchment, software tool named CORAL used. on-line simulated by interfacing high fidelity simulator networks (MOUSE)....
In this brief, objective prioritization of multiobjective cost functions using the lexicographic approach is applied in model predictive control (MPC) framework sewer networks. Using approach, problem solution can be obtained by solving a sequence single objective, constrained, convex programming problems. This brief demonstrates with an elaborated case study treating portion Barcelona network, that important improvements achieved performance optimization. At same time, costly commissioning...
This study presents a solution for the integrated longitudinal and lateral control problem of urban autonomous vehicles. It is based on gain‐scheduling linear parameter‐varying (LPV) approach combined with use an Unknown Input Observer (UIO) estimating vehicle states friction force. Two LPV controllers are used in cascade configuration that kinematic dynamic models observed provided by (UIO). The LPV–UIO designed optimal manner solving set matrix inequalities (LMIs). On other hand, design...
Buildings represent a significant portion of global energy consumption. Ventilation units are complex components, often customized for the specific building, responsible large part Their faults impact buildings’ efficiency and occupancy comfort. In order to ensure their correct operation, proper fault detection diagnostics methods must be applied. Hardware redundancy, an effective approach detect faults, leads increased costs space requirements. We propose exploiting physical relations...
