Data-driven control-oriented modelling for MPC-based control of urban drainage systems

摘要

This article presents a data-driven, control-oriented modelling methodology for urban drainage systems (UDS). The proposed framework requires three main key components: input-output data from the element to be modelled, expert knowledge to define the model structure, and data-fitting techniques to obtain optimal parameters. The methodology is evaluated using a realistic benchmark from an UDS in Madrid, Spain. The results show high model accuracy and improved performance within a MPC scheme, reducing discharge and increasing treatment facilities utilization.
