Non-centralized predictive control for drinking-water supply systems

This chapter discusses the application of non-centralized MPC (NCMPC) approaches to DWTNs. The aim of DMPC is to reduce the computational burden and to increase the scalability and modularity with respect to the centralized counterpart, but still maintaining a convenient level of suboptimality with respect to the desired control objectives. Moreover, the advantage of NCMPC approach is the simplicity of its implementation given the absence of negotiations among controllers, which allows for a simple implementation.Peer Reviewe
