Abstract
A new method for the optimal real‐time control of water transport in open channels, called DYN2, is presented. This method was developed for controlling a class of water conveyance systems where so‐called dynamic regulation (DR), proposed by the Societe du Canal de Provence (France), is the basic control method. The DR concept is based on the heuristic policy, which compensates for downstream cumulative volume error. In DYN2, however, optimal control theory is applied to solve the water‐transport control problem more precisely than would be possible using the heuristic approach. Applying dynamic programming (DP) to DR, the DYN2 method was derived—thus the name DYN2. Advantages of DYN2 over DR are described. Both the DYN2 and DR have been applied on the Strezevo irrigation system (in Southern Yugoslavia, near Greece), resulting in the development of a state‐of‐the‐art computer‐based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. In this system, a computer makes decisions based on either DR or DYN...
