A Structured Optimal Controller for Irrigation Networks

open access: yes2022 European Control Conference (ECC), 2022
In this paper, we apply an optimal LQ controller, which has an inherent structure that allows for a distributed implementation, to an irrigation network. The network consists of a water reservoir and connected water canals. The goal is to keep the levels close to the set-points when farmers take out water.
