Total Channel Controltm — the Value of Automation in Irrigation Distribution Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total Channel ControlTM is a patented automation design for large scale open canal irrigation networks that manages water distribution within capacity constraints to achieve on-demand water delivery whilst maximizing water distribution. Here it is shown that this decentralized and distributed control implementation realizes near globally optimal performance. Furthermore, the performance enhancement above optimally scheduled open loop or manual operations is exemplified.

متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Two Strategies of “Lining” and “Automated Operation” in Reducing the Water Conveyance and Distribution Losses within the Main Canals, Case Study of Moghan Main Canal
Seepage losses and poor operational activities are the two main source of water losses throughout the agricultural water conveyance and distribution systems in irrigation districts. This study aims to investigate the performances of two strategies of “canal lining” and employing the “Canal Automation” in order to reduce the losses mentioned above. The investigation was carried out on a couple o...
متن کاملDetermination of seepage loss in earthen channels supplied by Hamoon channel in Dorodzan irrigation and drainage network.
Irrigation channels, which are parts of rainwater catchment systems, have been used for water supply in agriculture for a long time. Seepage loss in irrigation channels is one of the farmers' concerns. Seepage loss, especially in earthen channels, can be noticeable. Different equations have been developed to estimate seepage loss amount in irrigation channels. However, the accuracy of the equat...
