Control-oriented quality modelling approach of sewer networks

A control-oriented quality modeling approach is proposed for sewer networks, which can represent dynamics using simple equations in order to optimize pollution load from combined overflows large scale network real time. Total suspended solid has been selected as the indicator, regarding it easy be estimated through measuring turbidity and correlated with other indicators. The model are independent different elements network, allows a scalable usage. In ensure accuracy of models, calibration procedure sensitivity analysis have presented data generated by virtual reality simulation. Afterwards, quality-based predictive control developed based on models. To validate effectiveness efficiency modelling optimization approaches, pilot case, Badalona Spain used. Application results under scenarios show that works properly cope sewers. provide strategies reducing loads
