Abstract
This paper describes preliminary results of applying model-based predictive control (MPC) techniques for flow management in a large-scale drinking water networks including a telemetry/telecontrol system. MPC technique is used to generate flow control strategies from the sources to the consumer areas to meet future demands with appropriate pressure levels, optimizing performance indexes associated to operational goals such as network safety volumes and flow control stability. The designed management strategies are applied over real case study based on a representative model of the drinking water network of Barcelona (Spain).
