This book shows how sewage systems can be modelled and controlled within the framework of model predictive control (MPC). Several MPC-based strategies are proposed, accounting for the inherently complex dynamics and the multi-objective nature of the control required. The effect of system disturbance, represented by data from real rain episodes, on the performance of the control loop, isalso accommodated. Complementary to these considerations is the incorporationof the closed-loop system within a fault-tolerant architecture and the study of faults in system actuators. Actuator faults are represented using hybrid modelling techniques, avoiding the loss of convexity of the related optimisationproblem when the linear case is considered. The methods and control designs described in this book can easily be extrapolated to other complex systems of similar nature. A MATLAB® toolbox (available for download) will assist readers in implementing the MPC methods described within a sewer network. Introduces readers to the implementation of a powerful and increasingly popular control method in a group of applications of vital importance MATLAB® toolbox designed by the author will facilitate the actual use of the methods described for real water networks INDICE: Introduction.- Part I: Background and Case-study Modelling .- Background.- Principles of Mathematical Modelling on Sewer Networks.- Part II: Model Predictive Control on Sewer Networks .- Model Predictive Control Problem Formulation.- MPC Problem Formulation Based on Models with Hybrid Dynamics.- Suboptimal Model Predictive Control for Hybrid Systems.- Part III: Fault Tolerance Capabilities of Model Predictive Control .- Model Predictive Control and Fault Tolerance.- Actuator Fault Tolerance Evaluation.- Part IV: Concluding Remarks .- Concluding Remarks.
