Abstract: Based on the companion paper results, this paper presents a robust tuning method to tune a proportional integral (PI) controller that fulfills the design requirements for a single pool with different hydraulic conditions. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of the Task Committee on Canal Automation Algorithms with regard to the influence of canal properties on the controllability of irrigation canals. While the control provided by individual ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method to automatically tune decentralized proportional integral (PI) controllers for an irrigation canal pool. The auto tune variation (ATV) method is based on a relay experiment, which generates ...

Abstract: The paper reviews several methods to convert discharge into gate opening. A control algorithm for one or several reaches of an irrigation canal sometimes uses a discharge as the control action variable even though the ...
