Description:
|
A smart water network is a water distribution system which adjusts its performance with varying elements such as variable demands and pressures and acts as an integrated cyber-physical system that constitutes four major sectors including sensing, computing, control and communication. In this research we will advance mobile and stationary water sensor networks technology to enable realtime sensing and communication at a fine temporal and spatial resolutions. Computationally efficient and accurate algorithms will be adapted to simulate system. Optimal control methods will be developed to facilitate system automation by sensor readings and simulation projections. Reliable and fast information exchange between sensors, models, and controllers under rate and power constraints will be achieved using communication systems. |
