This paper presents a method to automatically tune decentralized proportional integral (PI)
controllers for an irrigation canal pool. The auto tune variation (ATV) method is based on a …

A new Proportional-Integral (PI) tuning method based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) is
presented. In particular, an LMI-based optimal control problem is solved to obtain a sparse …

Improved water management and efficient investment in the modernization of irrigation
schemes are essential measures in many countries to satisfy the increasing demand for …

Abstract Proportional-integral (PI) control, as one of the most popular classic control
methods, has been applied widely to the real-world practice of canal automatic control. The …

The objective of this survey paper is to review, structure and analyze the main concepts
involved in the control of irrigation canals, and to illustrate them on a canal benchmark. After …

The paper proposes a new method to tune robust distant downstream proportional integral
(PI) controllers for an irrigation canal pool. The method emphasizes the role of gain and …

A new method is proposed with which to design a class of robust fractional order controllers–
which we denote as FPI controllers since they can be regarded as a generalization of …

This paper deals with the development of a new robust fractional-order PI controller for
hydraulic canals whose parameters can vary in a wide range. Robustness to gain changes …

Based on the companion paper results, this paper presents a robust tuning method to tune a
proportional integral (PI) controller that fulfills the design requirements for a single pool with …
