Abstract: The aim of this work is to present an application of recent methods for solving the l1 design problem, based on the Scaled-Q approach, on a high-order, nonminimum phase system. We start by ...

Abstract: Model predictive control (MPC) can be employed for optimal operation of adjustable hydraulic structures. MPC selects the control to be applied to the system by solving an optimization problem over a finite horizon in ...

Abstract: Different control algorithms for the regulation of irrigation canals have been developed and applied throughout the world. Each of them can be characterized according to several criteria, among which are: the considered ...

Abstract: A canal automation algorithm named CLIS has been further developed and evaluated using test cases set by the ASCE Task Committee on Canal Automation Algorithms. The control algorithm is based on an inverse solution method ...

Abstract: This article describes the hydraulic behavior of a mixed water level control hydromechanical gate present in several irrigation canals. The automatic gate is termed “mixed” because it can hold either the upstream water ...
