Fault Tolerant Model Predictive Control applied on the Barcelona Sewer Network

Fault-tolerant model predictive control strategies of sewer networks are investigated in this article. A general linear model of sewer networks is presented and the corresponding expression into MPC formalism are discussed. From FTC and MPC, two strategies are proposed and compared: Passive Fault Tolerant MPC, that takes advantage of natural tolerance (robustness) of MPC and Active Fault Tolerant MPC, that uses active fault tolerance techniques in combination with MPC. Finally, some results are obtained applying these strategies over a portion of the Barcelona sewage network.
