1) Smart Real-time Control of Water Systems uses Model Predictive Control (MPC) and surrogate models to optimize control of complex urban water systems in real-time.
2) A full-scale test and implementation of this approach was conducted on the urban drainage system in Aarhus, Denmark.
3) Current work is ongoing to further develop the MPC-surrogate modeling framework and its application to integrated control of drainage systems and wastewater treatment plants under changing rainfall conditions.
