Pressure Regulation in Nonlinear Hydraulic Networks by Positive and Quantized Controls
2011
IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology
We investigate an industrial case study of a system distributed over a network, namely, a large-scale hydraulic network which underlies a district heating system. The network comprises an arbitrarily large number of components (valves, pipes, and pumps). After introducing the model for this class of networks, we show how to achieve semiglobal practical pressure regulation at designated points of the network by proportional control laws which use local information only. In the analysis, the
