摘要：AbstractThis paper investigates the regulatory control of large-scale irrigation systems under a Distributed Cooperative Model Predictive Control (DCMPC) framework. We first address the challenging issue of providing a mathematical model for an irrigation system with an inherent complex dynamics using the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. Next, we discuss different control implementation strategies (i.e., decentralized and distributed strategies) and how the cooperation among local MPC controllers can be included to improve the performance of the overall system. For simulations, a particular benchmark of an irrigation canal is considered. Comparisons through simulations among the proposed control approaches validate the benefits of the cooperative distributed control approach.
