A constrained predictive controller has been developed for the decentralized automatic
control of a multi-reach irrigation canals. The controller has been designed to regulate the …

This paper presents the design of a predictive controller for decentralized control of an
irrigation canal. The overall canal is decomposed into N subsystems (reaches) separated by …

Presents the design of a predictive controller for decentralized control of an irrigation
delivery canal. The overall canal is decomposed into single subsystems (pools) separated …

This paper presents a digital control scheme for water level regulation in irrigation canals.
The scheme considers a prototype canal composed by a series of pools connected with …

A multivariable generalized predictive controller has been developed for use with a single
reach of an irrigation canal. Both regulation (perturbation rejection) and tracking aspects …

Adaptive predictive control theory was used to formulate a set of local mathematical
controllers for the automatic operation of gates in a series of reaches of an irrigation canal …

A control method has been developed to compensate for the water delays in irrigation
channels makes control difficult. This Generalized Predictive Control method was tested by …

Open canal dynamics in which a constant water level is kept at the bottom end of each canal
pools by the upstream control structure of the pool are characterized by a time-varying delay …

Applying automatic control methods to irrigation canals is a way to improve the management
of irrigation systems. The difficulties involved in these hydraulic systems such as …

Presents a digital control scheme for water level regulation in canals. The scheme considers
a prototype canal composed by a series of pools connected with active gates. A control …
