Hybrid modelling of hydrographical networks and time transfer delay

In this paper, a modelling method based on concurrent hybrid automata is proposed to accurately represent the dynamics of hydrographical systems on large operating range. A hybrid automaton is composed of several multi-models of which number is determined by a multimodelling approach. The concurrent hybrid automata are used to identify the time transfer delays between the measurement points and the gates of the hydrographical systems. These time transfer delays are necessary for the use of a reactive control strategy which improves the water-asset management by supervision, resource allocation and setpoint assignment.
