Combine evolutionary optimization with Model Predictive Control in real-time flood control of a river system KU Leuven
In order to establish successful flood control strategies to prevent or alleviate severe flood damages, real-time optimization-based control can be a supplementary strategy, besides setting operating rules (regulations) for the hydraulic structures. This research combines evolutionary optimization, by means of a Genetic Algorithm (GA), with the Model Predictive Control (MPC) technique to develop and test a real-time flood control method for the ...
