Opportunity analysis of designing an automatic control system for the technological process of water distribution using PID controllers in upstream control in the Donskoy main channel

Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the issues of development and application of an automatic control system for the technological process of water distribution in the Donskoy main channel (DMC) using proportional-integral differential PID controllers and a control scheme for the upstream. The urgency of this purpose is justified by the fact that effective management of water level in channel is of great importance for agricultural production and water supply to adjacent territories. The analysis of the main components of the control system, including PID controllers and the upstream control scheme is performed. The possibility of using these components for effective control and regulation of water level in the channel is considered. Materials and methods. A detailed analysis of the factors that must be taken into account when designing an automatic control system of water in a channel using PID controllers has been carried out. An algorithm for controlling water level in the upstream channel using PID controllers is proposed. Results. Measures for the water distribution management system development and implementation in the Donskoy main channel are proposed. It is stated that when designing a control system, the configuration of the channel and the measures to ensure a uniform distribution of water along its entire length should be taken into account, considering the unsteady water motion in the Donskoy main channel. The results of the analysis show that the automatic control system using PID controllers and the upstream control scheme has the potential to control the water level in the DMC effectively. Conclusions. Based on the analysis carried out, it was concluded that it is possible to design an automatic water control system in the DMC using PID controllers and a control scheme for the upstream successfully. Further research and development can contribute to the optimization of water distribution management and increase the efficiency of agricultural production in the region.
