Model Predictive Control of water resources systems: A review and research agenda

Annual Reviews in Control, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 55, С. 442 - 465

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has recently gained increasing interest in the adaptive management of water resources systems due to its capability incorporating disturbance forecasts into real-time optimal control problems. Yet, related literature is scattered with heterogeneous applications, case-specific problem settings, and results that are hardly generalized transferable across systems. Here, we systematically review 149 peer-reviewed journal articles published over last 25 years on MPC applied reservoirs, open channels, urban networks identify common trends challenges research practice. The three consider inter-connected, multi-purpose multi-scale dynamical affected by multiple hydro-climatic uncertainties evolving socioeconomic factors. Our first identifies four main currently limiting most applications domain: (i) lack systematic benchmarking respect other methods; (ii) assessment impact model-based control; (iii) limited analysis diverse forecast types, resolutions, prediction horizons; (iv) under-consideration multi-objective nature We then argue future should focus addressing these as key priorities for developments.

Low Impact Development practices in the context of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: A new concept, lessons learned and challenges

Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 52(14), С. 2538 - 2581

The increase in urbanization and climate change brings new challenges to the cities' sustainability resilience, mainly related flood drought events. Among these challenges, it can be highlighted physical health damage population, interruption of water, energy food supply services, basic infrastructure, economic losses contamination urban rivers. To contribute resilience centers, LID practices have been used as a approach mitigation adaptation within drainage systems, aiming at runoff retention, peak flow attenuation, pollutant removal ecosystem services restoration (e.g., resources recycling, carbon sequestration, thermal comfort landscape integration). These different purposes complementary benefits provided by Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) presented United Nations (UN), achieve countries' systemic sustainability. identification local techniques that SDG helps their territorialization application public policy. Therefore, this paper presents literature review, categorizing studies into generations based on main purpose linkage SDG. Some were identified requiring further investigation, such need identify quantify demands for maintenance incorporation system final balance, processes sequestration emission, risks emerging pollutants human from water reuse nutrient cycling sustainable agriculture.

Nature-Based Solutions and Real-Time Control: Challenges and Opportunities

Water, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 13(5), С. 651 - 651

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2021

Nature-based solutions (NBS) as green infrastructures to urban drainage are an effective mitigation strategy both in terms of quantity and quality runoff. Real-time control (RTC) can complement flood improvement water by controlling elements the sewage system. This study assessed opportunities with RTC three NBS-related techniques commonly applied different spatial scales: roof, bioretention detention basin remaining challenges integrate methods. Additionally, our investigations showed that main difficulties reported involve planning monitoring stages All studied devices benefit from RTC. It is possible observe that, despite good results literature, application NBS studies on very recent. There several be explored optimize performance.

Digital technologies engaged in urban metabolism for efficiency provide policymakers, managers, and planners with useful instruments to collect, monitor, analyze, evaluate the circularity of environmental, social, economic resources improve their effectiveness quality. At present, digital technology-based approach is strategic circular cities development smart sustainable actions fields mobility, energy, environment, waste, telecommunications, security. Through ‘Circular Resource Efficiency Management Framework’ developed by European Commission, this paper generates insights into digitalization practices analyzing initiatives implemented municipalities Kaunas, Flanders region, Porto, Prato, The Hague, Oslo, which constitute Partnership on Circular Economy (PCE) Urban Agenda Union. results analysis a wide range such as real-time monitoring stations water energy consumption, cameras controlling vehicle flows, web platforms sharing goods services, tracking sensors public transport, aim optimize metabolic flows. This study increases understanding awareness paradigm shift.
