This paper proposes a reliable fault-tolerant model predictive control applied to drinking
water transport networks. After a fault has occurred, the predictive controller should be
redesigned to cope with the fault effect. Before starting to apply the fault-tolerant control
strategy, it should be evaluated whether the predictive controller will be able to continue
operating after the fault appearance. This is done by means of a structural analysis to
determine loss of controllability after the fault complemented with feasibility analysis of the …

This project proposes a reliable fault-tolerant MPC applied to DWTNs. The proposed
approach the proposed approach allows to carry out a degradation analysis of the system in
terms of performance and reliability. As a result of this analysis, the MPC controller design
can be modified adapting the constraints such that the best achievable performance with
some pre-stablished level of reliability will be achieved. The proposed approach will be
tested on the Barcelona Water network.
