Feedback control of water quality
PublikacjaSformułowano problem sterowania jakością wody w sieciach wodociągowych i następnie zaproponowano podejście do projektowania sterowania stężeniem chloru w takich sieciach, bazujący na estymacji parametrów oraz sterowaniu adaptacyjnym. Podejście wykorzystuje założenie, że w sieci wodociągowej istnieją punkty wstrzykiwania chloru. Zależność typu wejście-wyjście pomiędzy stężeniem chloru w węźle dozowania i monitorowania jest modelowana...

Robust Monitoring of Water Quality in Drinking Water Distribution System
PublikacjaThe paper develops a novel open loop set bounded observer for robust estimation of water quality in DWDS based on the advanced nonlinear quality dynamics model including disinfections by-products (DBPs). The observer utilises a cooperativeness of the quality dynamics model and is computationally efficient, hence applicable to on-line quality monitoring. The simulation results illustrate its good and sustainable performance.
