Linear model for canal pools
Trabalho apresentado em 8th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO'11),2011, Noordwijkerhout, HollandWater is vital for human life.Water is used widespread from agricultural to industrial as well as simple domestic
activities. Mostly due to the increase on world population, water is becoming a sparse and valuable resource,
pushing a high demand on the design of efficient engineering water distribution control systems. This paper
presents a simple yet sufficiently rich and flexible solution to model open-channels. The hydraulic model is
based on the Saint-Venant equations which are then linearized and transformed into a state space dynamic
model. The resulting model is shown to be able to incorporate different boundary conditions like discharge,
water depth or hydraulic structure dynamics, features that are commonly present on any water distribution
system. Besides, due its computational simplicity and efficient monitoring capacity, the resulting hydraulic
model is easily integrated into safety and fault tolerant control strategies. In this paper the hydraulic model is
successfully validated using experimental data from a water canal setup.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
