Point-parametric modeling for model predictive control in dynamic networks

This paper illustrates the application of point-parametric modeling for model predictive control applications in dynamic networks. The point-parametric modelling methodology is applicable to a variety of large scale complex systems such as drinking water distribution systems, power networks, transportation networks and telecommunication networks. Robust parameter estimation provided by point-parametric modelling technology is addressed. The models developed are suitable for model predictive controller design. A numerical example based on drinking water distribution system is used to illustrate the point-parametric modeling for water quality prediction.
