modeling and real time control of urban Drainage Systems a review
Advances in Water Resources, 2015Co-Authors: Luis Vicente Garcia, Nicanor Quijano, Julian Barreirogomez, E Escobar, D Tellez, Carlos OcampomartinezAbstract:Abstract Urban Drainage Systems (UDS) may be considered large-scale Systems given their large number of associated states and decision actions, making challenging their real-time control (RTC) design. Moreover, the complexity of the dynamics of the UDS makes necessary the development of strategies for the control design. This paper reviews and discusses several techniques and strategies commonly used for the control of UDS. Moreover, the models to describe, simulate, and control the transport of wastewater in UDS are also reviewed.

model predictive control of urban Drainage Systems a review and perspective towards smart real time water management
Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, 2018Co-Authors: Nadia Schou Vorndran Lund, Henrik Madsen, Anne Katrine Falk, Morten Borup, Peter Steen MikkelsenAbstract:ABSTRACTModel predictive control (MPC) can be used to manage combined urban Drainage Systems more efficiently for protection of human health and the environment, but examples of operational implementations are rare. This paper reviews more than 30 years of partly heterogeneous research on the topic. We propose a terminology for MPC of urban Drainage Systems and a hierarchical categorization where we emphasize four overall components: the “receding horizon principle”, the “optimization model”, the “optimization solver”, and the “internal MPC model”. Most of the reported optimization models share the trait of a multiobjective optimization based on a conceptual internal MPC model. However, there is a large variety of both convex and non-linear optimization models and optimization solvers as well as constructions of the internal MPC model. Furthermore, literature disagrees about the optimal length of the components in the receding horizon principle. The large number of MPC formulations and evaluation approach...

greenhouse gas emissions from integrated urban Drainage Systems where do we stand
Journal of Hydrology, 2018Co-Authors: Giorgio Mannina, David Butler, Lorenzo Benedetti, Ana Deletic, Harsha Fowdar, Guangtao Fu, Manfred Kleidorfer, David Thomas Mccarthy, Peter Steen MikkelsenAbstract:Abstract As sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, integrated urban Drainage Systems (IUDSs) (i.e., sewer Systems, wastewater treatment plants and receiving water bodies) contribute to climate change. This paper, produced by the International Working Group on Data and Models, which works under the IWA/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Drainage, reviews the state-of-the-art and modelling tools developed recently to understand and manage GHG emissions from IUDS. Further, open problems and research gaps are discussed and a framework for handling GHG emissions from IUDSs is presented. The literature review reveals that there is a need to strengthen already available mathematical models for IUDS to take GHG into account.

water quality based real time control of integrated urban Drainage Systems a preliminary study from copenhagen denmark
Procedia Engineering, 2014Co-Authors: M L Christensen, Luca Vezzaro, Carsten Thirsing, Morten Grum, Peter Steen MikkelsenAbstract:Abstract Global Real Time Control (RTC) of urban Drainage Systems is increasingly seen as cost-effective solution for responding to increasing performance demands. This study investigated the potential for including water-quality based RTC into the global control strategy which is under implementation in the Lynetten catchment (Copenhagen, Denmark). Two different strategies were simulated, considering: (i) water quality at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) inlet and (ii) pollution discharge to the bathing areas. These strategies were included in the Dynamic Overflow Risk Assessment (DORA) RTC strategy, which allows for prioritization of the discharge points in the Systems according to their sensitivity. A conceptual hydrological model was used to assess the performance of the integrated control strategy over an entire year. The simulation results showed the benefits of the proposed approaches in reducing Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) loads at the WWTP inlet and in an upstream location discharging to sensitive bathing waters for medium CSO events (i.e. those with greater potential for control). Furthermore, when looking at the overall performance across the entire catchment during the simulation period, no significant changes were observed. These preliminary results require further analysis by including detailed water quality measurements and simulations. Nevertheless, the potential for including water-quality RTC in global RTC schemes was unveiled, providing a further option to urban water managers to improve the performance of their Systems.

A differential game approach to urban Drainage Systems control
2016 American Control Conference (ACC), 2016Co-Authors: A. Ramirez-jaime, Nicanor Quijano, C. Ocampo-martinezAbstract:Urban Drainage Systems (UDSs) are complex large-scale Systems that carry stormwater and wastewater throughout urban areas. During heavy rain scenarios, UDSs are not able to handle the amount of extra water that enters the network and flooding occurs. Usually, this might happen because the network is not being used efficiently, i.e., some structures remain underused while many others are overused. This paper proposes a control methology based on differential game theory that aims to efficiently use the existing network elements in order to minimize overflows and properly manage the water resource. The proposed controller is tested on a typical UDS and is compared with a centralized MPC achieving similar results in terms of flooding minimization and network usage, but only using local information on distributed controllers.

2016 IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA), 2016Co-Authors: Duvan Tellez-castro, Nicanor Quijano, Eduardo Mojica-navaAbstract:A decentralized control for urban Drainage Systems (UDS) is addressed considering communication constraints such as information losses and communication complexity. In order to minimize the effects caused by limited communications and to ensure real-time operation, the moving horizon approach is used. Decentralized architectural is addressed and an extension to switching network topologies is proposed. Finally, the methodology is illustrated by simulations through a case study in urban Drainage Systems.

Decentralized Control for Urban Drainage Systems via population dynamics: Bogotá case study
2015 European Control Conference (ECC), 2015Co-Authors: J. Barreiro-gomez, Nicanor Quijano, G. Obando, G. Riaño-briceño, C. Ocampo-martinezAbstract:Control of Urban Drainage Systems (UDS) is studied for cases in which the distribution of run-off through the channels of a system is inefficient, i.e. when the capacity of some structures is not used optimally. In this paper, a decentralized population-dynamics-based control for UDS is presented, particularly using the replicator and projection dynamics. For the design, a methodology to make a partitioning of the system is introduced, and the design of a population-dynamics-based control per each partition is proposed. Moreover, a stability analysis of the closed-loop system is made by using passivity theory. Finally, simulation results show the proposed approach performance in a segment of the Bogotá stormwater UDS case study.

efficiency of storm detention tanks for urban Drainage Systems under climate variability
Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 2012Co-Authors: Ignacio Andresdomenech, Alberto Montanari, J B MarcoAbstract:Climate change effects on combined sewer Systems efficiency is a great matter of concern. In fact, changes in rainfall regime could significantly affect combined sewer overflows (CSOs) into receiving water bodies. Given that CSOs are a significant source of pollution, a better understanding and modeling of climate change effects on urban Drainage Systems is a compelling requirement to support design of adaptation strategies. This paper aims at studying the resilience of storm water detention tanks efficiency with respect to changes in rainfall forcing. In detail, an analytical probabilistic model is proposed to assess overflow reduction efficiency and volumetric efficiency of detention tanks depending on behaviors of climate and urban catchment. Sensitivity of tank efficiencies is evaluated under assigned changes in rainfall forcing. Results show that resilience of storm tanks benefits from filtering of climate change effects operated by the urban catchment.
