NONLINEAR DISCRETE MODEL FOR THE CONTROL OF A SEWER NETWORK

Abstract

This paper proposes a nonlinear discrete model for a sewer network aiming to minimize the total overflow volume generated by the influent collected in its area, in the horizon of the control problem. The sewer network is modeled as a nonlinear discrete dynamic system. The control objective leads to an optimization problem with constraints on control and state variables.
